Appetitively motivated tasks in the IntelliCage reveal a higher motivational cost of spatial learning in male than female mice
The IntelliCage (IC) permits the assessment of the behavior and learning abilities of mice in a social home cage context. To overcome water deprivation as an aversive driver of learning, we developed protocols in which spatial learning is motivated appetitively by the preference of mice for sweetene...
