Three-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were trained on a working memory
win-stay (spatial delayed matching-to-sample) water-escape task with the
escape platform location the same for all subjects on a given trial, a
procedure that maximizes the buildup of an odor trail to the escape
platform. In subsequent tests during which the location of the escape
platform varied randomly between subjects, the rats, especially the
females, while continuing to perform above chance level, made increased
errors. Varying the platform location between subjects eliminated odor
trail as a non-ambiguous cue for locating the escape platform. In a
second experiment females performed better than males on a reference
memory odor trail discrimination task which involved following the path
of like-gender "pathmaker" rats to the escape platform. The relatively
poor use of odor trails by the males
