So I'm on my last couple weeks at my summer lab, and interestingly the PI came up to me yesterday and said that they had a couple of lab mice that were to be sacrificed(euthanized) and asked me if I wanted to do anything with them. Obviously since I m leaving soon, I can't really do much, but one of the post docs suggested doing some simple cognitive tasks for the mice, and I guess getting a feel for behavioral research would be really interesting. Any suggestions? Anyone else worked with lab mice before? Anyone know of any simple and quick cognitive tests that are interesting to see before these I have to say goodbye to these mice? Keep in mind that I m looking for something quick and not really anything that would involve publishing anything at this point: just trying to put opportunities to good use.
