The novel object recognition memory: neurobiology, test procedure, and its modifications

2012 | M. Antunes · G. Biala
The novel object recognition (NOR) test is a widely used behavioral assay in animal models to assess memory and learning. It evaluates the ability of animals to recognize a novel object based on differences in exploration time between a familiar and a novel object. The test is simple, requires no external rewards, and can be completed in a short time. It is particularly useful for studying short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term memory, as well as the influence of brain regions on recognition memory. The NOR test has been modified in various ways to study different aspects of memory, including working memory, attention, anxiety, and novelty preference. These modifications include changes in the number of objects, their placement, and the duration of the test phase. The test is also used to evaluate the effects of drugs and brain damage on memory. The NOR test is applicable to various animals, including rats, mice, and monkeys, and has been used to study the neural basis of memory. The test involves three phases: habituation, familiarization, and test. During the familiarization phase, animals are exposed to two identical objects, and during the test phase, one object is replaced by a novel one. The performance of animals is evaluated based on the time spent exploring the objects. The test has been modified in various ways to study different aspects of memory, including the influence of brain regions on recognition memory. The NOR test is a valuable tool for basic and preclinical research, as it allows the study of the neural basis of memory. The test has been used to study the effects of various drugs and brain damage on memory. The test is also used to study the effects of environmental factors on memory.
