Novel object recognition in substance use disorders research

From 2021 to 2025, 38 animal research papers on substance use disorders mentioned novel object recognition in their title or abstract.

That is 2.1 times the 18 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers on substance use disorders that mention any of the 90 tests we count fell 12%.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions novel object recognition in its title or abstract, and studies substance use disorders.

We tell whether a paper studies substance use disorders from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.

The page on substance use disorders research names the subject headings we count as substance use disorders. Download the test list for the search terms we used for novel object recognition, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.

More tests and disease models

Every pairing of a disease model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on novel object recognition counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on substance use disorders research ranks the tests by their papers on substance use disorders.
