In mice, olfaction plays a pivotal role in the various behaviors, such as feeding, mating, nursing and avoidance. Behavioral tests that analyze abilities of odor detection and recognition using genetically modified mice reveal the contribution of target genes to the olfactory processing. Here, we describe the olfactory avoidance test to investigate the odor detection ability in mice.
在小鼠中,嗅觉在诸如进食、交配、哺育和回避等各种行为中起着关键作用。利用基因改造小鼠分析气味检测和识别能力的行为测试揭示了目标基因对嗅觉处理的作用。在此,我们描述用于研究小鼠气味检测能力的嗅觉回避测试。
