Navigating an odor landscape is a critical behavior for the survival of many species, including mice. An ethologically relevant mouse behavior is locating food using information about odor concentration, such as the relatively laminar gradient established by diffusion-convection near surfaces. To approximate this behavior, we use an open field odor-based spot-finding task indoors with little wind, examining navigation strategies as mice search for and approach an odor source. After mice were… CONTINUE READING
