Long-term sensory conflict in freely behaving mice

Long-term sensory conflict protocols are a valuable means of studying motor learning. The
presented protocol produces a persistent sensory conflict for experiments aimed at studying
long-term learning in mice. By permanently wearing a device fixed on their heads, mice are
continuously exposed to a sensory mismatch between visual and vestibular inputs while
freely moving in home cages. Therefore, this protocol readily enables the study of the visual
system and multisensory interactions over an extended timeframe that would not be …
