Mice naturally prefer novelty, so during testing they spend more time exploring a new object if they remember the familiar one eliminating the need for rewards, punishments, or extended training. The test is highly adaptable: retention intervals can be adjusted to assess short- or long-term memory, and pharmacological interventions can target specific phases like acquisition, consolidation, or recall. Overall, ORT offers an efficient, flexible approach to detect neuropsychological changes following genetic, biological, or drug-based manipulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5614391\/\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC5614391\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Object Recognition Test (ORT) is a widely used, low-stress behavioral assay to evaluate learning and memory in mice over a simple 3-day protocol: habituation, training, and testing.
