Strain differences in a high response-cost daily time-place learning task

► Used a daily time-place learning task with a high response cost. ► Rats trained to climb tower A in morning and tower B in afternoon. ► Sprague Dawley rats go to correct place at correct time; Long Evans rats do not. ► Increasing number of trials does not improve performance. ► Replicated findings of Widman et al. (2000) using male rats.
