Six male CD-1 mice were tested with eleven odorants: n-propanoic acid, n-butanoic acid, n-pentanoic acid, n-hexanoic acid, n-heptanoic acid, n-octanoic acid, 2-methyl propanoic acid, 3-methyl butanoic acid, 2-methyl pentanoic acid, 3-methyl pentanoic acid and 4-methyl pentanoic acid.
Mice were trained using standard operant conditioning procedures and olfactory detection thresholds were determined using an automated olfactometer.
