Novel Object Recognition Test
A Trusted Tool for Cognitive and Memory Research
The Novel Object Recognition (NOR) test evaluates object recognition and memory in rodents, utilizing their natural curiosity to explore new objects. This non-invasive method is ideal for assessing neurocognitive function and the effects of treatments or disease models.
Key Results Metrics
Analyzing Spatial Navigation and Behavioral Avoidance
Test duration
Tracks the duration spent in each sector, indicating spatial preference and avoidance learning efficiency.
Distance traveled per section
Counts entries into user-defined sections.
Time spent in each section
Measures time spent in each section.
Time spent in contact with the known or novel object
Measures the time in contact with an object (user-defines the contact zone in cm from the object)
Number of entries into each section
Calculates number of entries into each section
Rotation, activity, and acceleration
Other behavioral measures calculated including rotation, activity, and acceleration events
Number of contacts with a known or novel object
Overall distance covered by the animal during the test session.
