Enhancing Novel Object Recognition (NOR)

Optimizing NOR with Automated Head Tracking

Novel Object Recognition (NOR) stands as a widely adopted method for memory evaluation. This assay relies on precise head tracking of animals, emphasizing the necessity for automation to ensure accuracy and efficiency in data collection and analysis. Track up to 4 animals at once with our set of 4 capability.

Key Results Metrics

Assessing Object Exploration Behavior

ConductVision offers tailored metrics for behavioral tests, particularly Novel Object Recognition (NOR) experiments. For single or set of 4 experiments.

Total Time Exploring the Novel Object

Measures the total time spent investigating the novel object, indicating interest level or novelty preference.

Total Time Exploring the Known Object

Measures how long the subject explores a familiar object, reflecting recognition or preference for familiar stimuli.

Percentage of Time Exploring the Novel Object

Calculates the proportion of total exploration focused on the novel object, showing novelty preference or attention.

Percentage of Time Exploring the Known Object

Determines the percentage of exploration time spent on the known object, revealing familiarity or recognition levels.

Discrimination Index

Measures the subject’s ability to distinguish between novel and known objects by comparing exploration times.

Recognition (Preference) Index

Assesses preference for the novel object over the familiar one, revealing attention or interest patterns.

Distance Traveled

Calculates the total distance covered during the test, indicating overall locomotor activity or exploration behavior.

Unveiling Recognition Memory in the Novel Object Maze

Key Metrics for Assessing Object Exploration Behavior

The Novel Object Maze is a widely-used tool for assessing recognition memory and exploratory behavior in rodents. It evaluates how animals discriminate between familiar and novel objects, with increased exploration of the novel object indicating memory retention and cognitive function. Enhanced exploration following treatment may suggest improved memory performance, supporting research into neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive-enhancing interventions.

Refining Object Exploration Analysis in Behavioral Testing

Precise analysis is key in tasks like NOR. Defining zones based on orientation toward objects improves accuracy and reveals deeper behavioral patterns.

Precision in Object Exploration Analysis: Excluding Contact Time

Excluding climbing or direct contact time enhances the precision of exploration data, allowing more accurate behavioral assessments.

Flexible Experimentation with Moveable Object Zones

Moveable zones allow easy object repositioning, supporting varied experiments and improving setup efficiency.
