Rats were given a 30‐minute habituation time in a plastic cage without objects. After that, objects were placed in the middle of the box. Rats were allowed to freely explore for 10 minutes. During the training, the mean speed and the distance traveled by rats were evaluated. Short‐term memory (STM) and long‐term memory (LTM) were evaluated after 1.5 and 24 hours after training, respectively. Rats were returned to the plastic box, which contained the original objects and a novel object. Exploration time was defined as the time spent by the rats sniffing or touching the object with the nose.
