Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of the mice Mus musculus C57BL/6J strain to form and evoke a visual recognition memory of objects that differ only by their color. In order to do this, we use the paradigm of novel objet recognition (NOR), which takes advantage of the innate tendency of mice to explore a novel object longer than a familiar one. The present study is the first to show preliminary results on the ability to form long-term memories of visual recognition by color in this mouse strain. In addition, this work suggests this mouse strain as a model to be used in further research on the study of the formation of recognition memory based on color.
