5 Choice Serial Reaction Time Task (5CSRTT)

The 5-choice serial reaction time task (5SCRTT) measures impulsive action and attention in mice. The mouse responds to a brief light stimulus in one of five response apertures. The number of premature responses – before the stimulus light switches on – is a measure of impulsivity. Omissions and accuracy of responding are measures of attention.

InnoSer’s researchers have employed this task in numerous studies (Loos et al 2010; Counotte, Loos et al 2011, Guillem, Loos et al 2011; Loos et al 2012; Loos et al 2013; Kramvis, Loos et al 2013).
