The BMT was conducted in a quiet room (340 cm × 260 cm) which was brightly lit (a floor lamp in each corner and an over-head light) to provide a mild negative reinforcement. Trials were recorded using an overhead monochromatic video camera (Basler Ace monochrome) connected to a computer located in the back corner of the room behind a curtain. The experimenter remained behind the curtain during all recordings. Data was extracted from the videos using the Ethovision XT software (version 17). All equipment remained in the same location in the room, providing visual spatial cues.

All spatial tests were conducted in a quiet room (340 cm × 260 cm) with a floor lamp in each corner that provided dim, even illumination to minimize stress of young pups during the OFT and OLT. During the BMT, a bright over-head light was added to provide a mild negative reinforcement. Trials were recorded using an overhead monochromatic video camera (Basler Ace monochrome) connected to a computer that was located in the back corner of the room behind a curtain. The experimenter remained behind the curtain during all recordings. Data was extracted from the videos using the Ethovision XT software (version 15). All equipment remained in the same location in the room, providing visual spatial cues.
To reduce handling anxiety, each pup in every litter was allowed to explore the palm of the experimenter for two minutes on PD 14 and 15, in their home room. Home cages were moved into the experimental room for 15–20 min acclimation prior to trials and all equipment was cleaned with 70% ethanol between trials.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
