People with early-stage Huntington's disease have been found to have a specific deficit in performing an extra-dimensional shift. To date no evidence of this deficit has been identified in transgenic or knock-in rodent models of the disease. The aim of the present paper then, was to test whether homozygous knock-in mice derived from the Hdh(CAG(150)) mouse line were impaired in any of five 2-choice discrimination tasks (simple, compound, compound reversal, intra-dimensional shift and extra-dimensional shift), and whether these mice were impaired at recalling these tasks on the following day. On the extra-dimensional shift task the Hdh(CAG(150)) homozygous mice required a greater number of trials to reach criteria than mice and the percentage of correct choices within the trials was also significantly reduced compared with the animals. For the recall tasks, a deficit for recalling the compound reversal test was found in the Hdh(CAG(150)) homozygous mice for both number of trials required to reach criteria and percentage of correct choices within the trials. Recall for the intra-dimensional shift task was also impaired in these animals when measured by the percentage of correct choices. Our results demonstrate a pronounced deficit in the Hdh(CAG(150)) mice not only on extra-dimensional shift performance in agreement with human studies, but also on recall tasks for both the compound reversal and the intra-dimensional shift tasks.
