| Summary: | Eyeblink conditioning is associated with motor learning, which requires the cerebellum and the brainstem. This article provides behavioral data on whether JNJ16259685, a selective metabotropic glutamate receptor type 1 (mGluR1) antagonist, affects eyeblink conditioning in wild-type mice (C57BL/6 J strain). The dataset contains four types of behavioral outputs pertinent to eyeblink conditioning. We used a t-test and an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to analyze the percentage of conditioned responses (CR%), peak CR latencies, onset CR latencies, and electromyography (EMG) amplitudes. The information obtained in this dataset adds to our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying eyeblink conditioning and can prove beneficial for investigators studying the pharmacological effects of mGluR1 on motor learning. Future research might use this dataset as a basis for conducting experiments with different JNJ16259685 doses, administration methods, and durations than the ones used in the described procedures.
