Latency to Leave an Elevated Platform, Activity in a Dark Chamber, and Weight in Aging Sprague-Dawley Rats
Young adult, middle-aged, and old male Sprague-Dawley rats ( n = 42) were compared for differences in step-down latency and activity in a darkened chamber. Ad libitum weights also were recorded. Latencies to leave a step-down platform increased about 400% from 4 to 9 mo. and then stabilized, suggesting that performance in this apparatus, commonly used in memory research, is very sensitive to age changes in rats less than 1 yr. old. Activity in th…
