Place and matching-to-place spatial learning affected by rat inbreeding (Dark–Agouti, Fischer 344) and albinism (Wistar, Sprague–Dawley) but not domestication (wild rat vs. Long–Evans, Fischer–Norway)
Abstract
Domestication has been shown to produce a shift in both morphological and behavioral characteristics of animals. While changes in body weight, brain size, reproductive rates, and temperament are well documented, the effects of domestication on learning and memory are not as clearly understood. This issue is of particular importance to the use of rodent models in learning and memory where the domestication of Rattus norvegicus for research has resulted in the availability of numerous strains. To investigate cognitive effects resulting frm domestication, we examined the spatial performance of a number of rat strains: wild, Long-Evans, Fischer-Norway, Dark-Agouti, Wistar, Fischer 344, Sprague-Dawley. The wild rats served as a baseline for comparing inbred and outbred domestic strains and pigmented and albino domestic strains. Place (a measure of nonspatial and procedural learning), matching-to-place (spatial working memory), and probe (retention) performance were measured in the Morris swimming pool task. The task is an ideal means for comparing different rat strains because place learning has not been selected for in the domestication of Rattus norvegicus and because the task is ethologically relevant. The results indicated that wild rats and Long-Evans rats did not differ on any measure, with Fischer-Norway rats being only slightly inferior. Larger impairments were found in Wistar > Fischer 344 > Dark-Agouti > Sprague-Dawley strains. Impairments were more obvious on place acqu…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
