Water maze

  • Water maze
  • The Morris water maze is a well-defined spatial learning task for rats and mice, one of the most often used tests in neuroscience research.

    A round pool is filled with opaque water or milk and the animal has to learn the location of a hidden platform, for example by learning to recognize environmental cues.

    In several trials, this location might alter or the platform is removed completely. This way several types of learning and retention are measured.
