Abstract: The 5-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRT) is used to measure executive cognitive functions in rodent models (and other species). Specifically, it is used to assess attentional processes and impulse control. Briefly, it requires a rodent to simultaneously monitor a horizontal array of five square response windows in anticipation for a stimulus, which takes the form of a single lit-up response window. If a rodent fails to make a selection, makes a wrong selection, or makes a selection outside of the appropriate time frame then a punishment will occur.
