I have a question regarding the "trials to criterion". Each and every mouse tested should reach the criterion? Or can group all mice and see if the mean fits to the criterion. Thank you in advance and congratulations for the excelent protocol.

In the case of alpha-CaMKII heterozygous knockout mice and the wild-type control mice, not all the control mice reached the criterion (80 % correct responses) at the last session. They showed 70-100 % correct responses; the mean % responses of the group fitted to the criterion.
In most studies, the criterion is generally 75-90 %. You can adopt the criterion that you want to use, depending on your research.
