  • Male brown mouse

  • G6f in layer 2/3

  • DOB 12-28-14

  • Implanted with 5 mm implants on 6-8-15

  • Cage : 3668979 from 3668977, 3632374, 3621688

  • Experimental days

    • 07/09/15 day 1, 1 blocks of 20 min, first block, Go only trials, no licking necessary. 2nd block, 40 min, only Go trials, lick necessary.

    • 07/10/15 day 2 Go only trials with lick necessary. 2 blocks of 30 min. We noticed that actually the mouse's licks were not detected. Looking back at the data from yesterday (day 1 for the mouse), it seems no licks were recorded past 500 sec. The temporary solution was to add water to the head bar/ cannula region to improve electric current conductivity. We assume that this mouse didn't learn anything, so we start from scratch with 1 block 20 min Go trials only, no lick necessary.2nd block was a 40 min session, go only, lick necessary

    • 07/11/15 2 30 min blocks, Go only, lick necessary. Tested the licometer at the beginning of the session, looks good. I used soap to improve conductivity for this mouse. ~25 min in the first block, the lickometer stopped working. When I tried to deliver the rewards by hand by touching the head bar and reward tube, it didn't work. Stopped the block, added more water, tested the lickometer again. The mouse earned 20 rewards (confirmed by hearing the rewards valve), no licks recorded. Added more soap, more water. tested the lickometer again. 10 rewards, none detected. Tested the lickometer again, manually making contact. No licks recorded. At this point, I restarted matlab. Another test, this time, manually making contact. Heard the reward valve, no licks detected. Put the mouse back in his cage.

    • 07/12/15 three 20 min go only block lick required. I added a small paper tissue between the two bars so as to keep the water and contact. Mouse is not reliable yet in behavior. It seems obviously stressed.

    • 07/13/15 three 20 min. First block go only block lick required. I added a small paper tissue between the two bars so as to keep the water and contact. Second and third block Go + no go, no go punished by air puff and 8 sec TO.
