Pawedness Trait Test (PaTRaT)—A New Paradigm to Evaluate Paw Preference and Dexterity in Rats
In rodents, dexterity is commonly analyzed in preference paradigms in which animals are given the chance to use either the left or the right front paws to manipulate food. However, paw preference and dexterity at population and individual levels are controversial as results are incongruent across paradigms. We have therefore developed a semi-quantitative method-the pawdeness trait test (PaTRaT)...
متن کاملArousal mediates relations among medial paw preference, lateral paw preference, and spatial preference in the mouse.
Rodents exhibit two well-documented behavioural lateralities: spatial preference and paw preference. Waters and Denenberg [36] have identified two seemingly independent factors of paw preference: medial and lateral paw preference. In the present work, the relations among spatial preference (SP), medial paw preference (MPP), and lateral paw preference (LPP) during states of high and low arousal ...
متن کاملAn electronic pressure-meter nociception paw test for rats.
The objective of the present investigation was to compare the sensitivity of an electronic nociceptive mechanical paw test with classical mechanical tests to quantify the intensity variation of inflammatory nociception. The electronic pressure-meter test consists of inducing the hindpaw flexion reflex by poking the plantar region with a polypropylene pipette tip adapted to a hand-held force tra...
متن کاملPaw Preference Correlates to Task Performance in Dogs
A study involving 36 domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) in a simple search task provides evidence of a correlation between paw use and performance. The study was carried out to determine whether or not paw use is related to task performance. Different aspects of task performance were taken into consideration. The results of an experiment indicate that dogs departing with the left front paw perfor...
متن کاملCorrelations between angiotensinase activity asymmetries in the brain and paw preference in rats.
The function of angiotensin peptides is dependent upon the action of several aminopeptidases (APs) termed angiotensinases. Soluble (SOL) and membrane (MEM)-bound alanyl-AP (AlaAP) and cystinyl-AP (CysAP) are involved in the metabolism of angiotensins and related to the modulation of behavior and memory. To study the interactions between angiotensinase activity in the hippocampus and behavioral ...
