In order to analyze the various sensorial and behavioral modes implied in learning on a radial maze, three isogenic mice groups (BALB/C, C57BL/6, and CB6F1) were subjected to four different learning procedures, each ending with a probe test. These four procedures examined the use of radial strategies and allowed to dissociate the use of olfactory and spatial cues. Results showed that all mice preferred to use a radial strategy. When the confinement procedure rendered the use of a radial strategy impossible, BALB/C mice were incapable of establishing spatial orientation but were able to learn the task by using olfactory cues. C57BL/6 mice, on the other hand, seemed to use spatial cues exclusively, while the CB6F1 hybrids showed a high degree of plasticity, using either type of information. These strain-specific differences point out the heterogeneity of the processes called into play during radial maze learning and show that unless olfactory cues are carefully controlled they can account for choice accuracy in some mice.
