- •
The 5-choice serial reaction time task effectively measures rodent attention.
- •
However, it presents 2 caveats: it is time intensive and training efficacy is highly variable.
- •
We provide recommendations to optimize the task to improve efficiency.
- •
We provide criteria to enhance the reliability of inferences made from the paradigm.
