Applications of the Morris water maze in translational traumatic brain injury research
Acquired traumatic brain injury (TBI) is frequently accompanied by persistent cognitive symptoms, including executive function disruptions and memory deficits. The Morris Water Maze (MWM) is the most widely-employed laboratory behavioral test for assessing cognitive deficits in rodents after experimental TBI. Numerous protocols exist for performing the test, which has shown great robustness in ...
متن کاملNefiracetam improves Morris water maze performance following traumatic brain injury in rats.
Nefiracetam, a pyrrolidone derivative, is a nootropic agent that has facilitated cognitive function in a wide variety of animal models of cognitive dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the chronic postinjury administration of nefiracetam (DM-9384) in improving cognitive performance following central fluid percussion brain injury in rats. Twenty-four hours fo...
متن کاملHuman spatial navigation deficits after traumatic brain injury shown in the arena maze, a virtual Morris water maze.
OBJECTIVE Survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) often have spatial navigation deficits. This study examined such deficits and conducted a detailed analysis of navigational behaviour in a virtual environment. DESIGN TBI survivors were tested in a computer simulation of the Morris water maze task that required them to find and remember the location of an invisible platform that was always i...
متن کاملModelling recovery of cognitive function after traumatic brain injury: spatial navigation in the Morris water maze after complete or partial transections of the perforant path in rats.
The Morris water maze (MWM) has been used to assess cognitive function in rats after a variety of lesions designed to model brain damage and to assess the effects of drugs, growth factors, and neural transplants on post-operative deficits. The present study examined recovery of spatial navigation in the MWM over time in order to model the spontaneous recovery of cognitive function seen in human...
متن کاملApplications of the Morris water maze in the study of learning and memory.
The Morris water maze (MWM) was described 20 years ago as a device to investigate spatial learning and memory in laboratory rats. In the meanwhile, it has become one of the most frequently used laboratory tools in behavioral neuroscience. Many methodological variations of the MWM task have been and are being used by research groups in many different applications. However, researchers have becom...
