So although males and females seem to perform similarly on different spatial memory tasks there may be differences in neural circuitry underlying decision making under conditions of uncertainty

However, on the TUNL task we found that females had altered performance under conditions of uncertainty, and this was associated with changes in the intensity of perineuronal nets and parvalbumin expression in the retrosplenial cortex.

We studied female and male BALB/c mice on aversive and appetitive learning and memory tasks, including the active place avoidance task and trial unique nonmatching-to-location in touchscreen chambers.

Our new paper is just out from @phoebe_mayne who used biological sex as a variable to assess spatial memory in mice, as part of her PhD project @QldBrainInst @QCMHR .
