Abstract

Huntington’s disease (HD) presents clinically with a triad of motor, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms. Cognitive symptoms often occur early within the disease progression, prior to the onset of motor symptoms, and they are significantly burdensome to people who are affected by HD. In order to determine the suitability of mouse models of HD in recapitulating the human condition, these models must be behaviourally tested and characterised. Operant behavioural testing offers an automated and objective method of behaviourally profiling motor, cognitive and psychiatric dysfunction in HD mice. Furthermore, operant testing can also be employed to determine any behavioural changes observed after any associated interventions or experimental therapeutics. We here present an overview on the most commonly used operant behavioural tests to dissociate motor, cognitive, and psychiatric aspects of mouse models of Huntington’s disease.
