Morris Water Maze – a Versatile Cognitive Tool
The Morris water maze is widely used to study spatial memory and learning. Animals are placed in a pool of water that is colored opaque with powdered non-fat milk or non-toxic tempera paint, where they must swim to a hidden escape platform. Because they are in opaque water, the animals cannot see the platform, and cannot rely on scent to find the escape route. Instead, they must rely on externa...
متن کاملA Computer-Based Application for Rapid Unbiased Classification of Swim Paths in the Morris Water Maze
The Morris water maze (MWM) is a commonly used apparatus for measuring visuo-spatial reference or working memory in rodents. In the reference memory task in our lab, mice are trained to locate a submerged platform in a circular pool filled with opaque water by using distal extra-maze visual cues. Learning in the MWM is typically assessed with measures of performance including latency and distan...
متن کاملMorris Water Maze Test: Optimization for Mouse Strain and Testing Environment.
The Morris water maze (MWM) is a commonly used task to assess hippocampal-dependent spatial learning and memory in transgenic mouse models of disease, including neurocognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. However, the background strain of the mouse model used can have a substantial effect on the observed behavioral phenotype, with some strains exhibiting superior learning ability rela...
متن کاملAn Overview of Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in Restorative Dentistry
Objective: To review the current knowledge of CAD/CAM in dentistry and its development in the mentioned field. Sources: An electronic search was conducted across Ovid Medline, complemented by manual search across individual databases, such as Cochrane, Medline and ISI Web of Science databases and Google Scholar for literature analysis on the mentioned topic. The studies were reviewed thoroughly...
متن کاملIntrahippocampal Anisomycin Impairs Spatial Performance on the Morris Water Maze.
UNLABELLED New memories are thought to be solidified (consolidated) by de novo synthesis of proteins in the period subsequent to learning. This view stems from the observation that protein synthesis inhibitors, such as anisomycin (ANI), administered during this consolidation period cause memory impairments. However, in addition to blocking protein synthesis, intrahippocampal infusions of ANI ca...
