Barnes Maze
-
The Barnes Maze is a valid alternative to the water maze to study spatial memory. The motivational drive is the rodent's instinctive aversion for open spaces and natural preference for dark and "sheltered" spaces.
The advantage over the water maze is that the Barnes Maze is easier to set-up, not requiring the use of water, hence it's probably less stressful for the animal, especially in the case of mice.
