Here is some additional information on the working memory test we used in this article.

Now, we published a movie article showing the detailed protocol for the test utilizing an automatic T-maze apparatus in Journal of Visualized Experiments.

Shoji, H., Hagihara, H., Takao, K., Hattori, S., Miyakawa, T. T-maze Forced Alternation and Left-right Discrimination Tasks for Assessing Working and Reference Memory in Mice. J. Vis. Exp. (60), e3300, DOI: 10.3791/3300 (2012).

This movie article would be useful, if you are not familiar with the test and want to do similar experiments.
