Multiple Cognitive Domain Testing
Transpharmation encourages and provides tests to assess the effects of NCEs across several cognitive domains. This approach can be useful for dose optimization and to better understand the broader or selective effects of cognitive-modifying NCEs. Additional cognitive tests that have been validated in the dog include, but are not limited to:
- Allocentric spatial learning and performance – the landmark task;
- Egocentric learning and reversal – the egocentric task;
- Complex learning – oddity discrimination learning; and
- Psychomotor function – paw reaching task.
