How to train your mouse to be a wine snob

Performance of mice in discrimination of liquor odors: behavioral evidence for olfactory attention.

We examined performance of mice in discrimination of liquor odors by Y-maze behavioral assays. Thirsty mice were initially trained to choose the odor of a red wine in the Y-maze. After successful training (>70% concordance for each trained mouse), the individual mice were able to discriminate the learned red wine from other liquors, including white wine, rosé wine, sake, and plum liqueur — via redwolf.newsvine.com
