Figure 1
Mice progressively learned both the allocentric and egocentric version of the cross-maze the task. (A) Schematic representation of the timeline of the behavioral procedure. After a familiarization session (fam, day 0), mice were trained for eight days (15 trails/day) and received a single test trial on day 9. (B) Schematic representation of the apparatus and the training/testing procedure in the allocentric and egocentric versions of the cross maze. (C) Mice trained with the allocentric (n = 12) or egocentric (n = 11) procedure improved their performance across days, showing equal acquisition of the task. Symbols represent the percentage of correct trials for each day of training (mean ± s.e.m.). (D) In the test trial from the novel starting position on day 9, both allocentric-trained and egocentric-trained mice were able to correctly reach the goal box. Bars represent the percentage of mice that correctly (place or response) or incorrectly (wrong) located the reward at the test trial.
