TL;DR: Physiological parameters that mediate response saturation of rod photoreceptors in mouse retina are described, and it is shown that rods can drive visual responses in photopic conditions.
Episodic-like memory for what-where-which occasion is selectively impaired in the 3xTgAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that AD pathology centered on the hippocampal formation mediates a specific deficit for WWWhich episodic-like memory in the 3xTgAD model.
Water and T-maze protocols are equally efficient methods to assess spatial memory in 3xTg Alzheimer’s disease mice
TL;DR: It is suggested that spontaneous behavioural protocols be prioritised over water maze testing in models such the 3xTgAD mouse as the former provide a far less stressful but equally effective alternative.

Melanopsin-Derived Visual Responses under Light Adapted Conditions in the Mouse dLGN

TL;DR: This article found that 25-30% of visual responsive neurons in the contralateral dLGN responded to these melanopsin-isolating steps with small increases in firing rate.
Effects of increased spatial complexity on behavioural development and task performance in Lister Hooded rats.
TL;DR: Investigating differences in key behaviours and cognitive performance between Lister Hooded rats housed in traditional cages and those housed in larger cages with an additional shelf suggests no effect of housing conditions on the development of most behaviours in experimental animals housed in spatially enriched caging systems is suggested.
