Sounds like you don't really know what you are doing, but you started
anyway.
I understand your lab created mutant black 6 mice and you want to find out
in what way these mice differ from wildtypes. I think you suspect a
hippocampal deficit. Don't you have access to a library? Check out
Frankland, Cestari, Filipkowski, McDonald & Silva (1998) for cued and
contextual fear conditioning in mice.

Good luck,
Filip
