The interpretation of cognitive data in many experimental stroke studies is problematic because middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) is associated with sensorimotor alterations that may become confounding factors in cognitive testing. The purpose of the current study was to determine if it is possible to measure MCAO-induced cognitive deficits by using short durations of ischemia that do not result in alterations in sensorimotor behavior in mice.
