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 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...
متن کاملA novel nitrate ester reverses the cognitive impairment caused by scopolamine in the Morris water maze.
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase and increased cGMP formation in the brain would improve task acquisition in cognitively impaired animals. We evaluated the effects of a novel nitrate ester, GT 715 (2,3-dinitrooxy-(2,3-bis-nitrooxypropyldisulfanyl)-propane), in scopolamine-induced impairment of task acquisition in the Morris water...
متن کاملReliability, distribution, and validity of age-related cognitive deficits in the Morris water maze.
In the present study, F-344 rats throughout 1.5 to 26 months of age were tested in the reference memory version, a moving-platform repeated acquisition version, and in a cued platform version of the Morris water maze. The results suggest that: (1) performance in the water maze declines continuously, beginning at the earliest age, and very closely fits a linear function; (2) there are robust, re...
متن کاملDivergence in Morris Water Maze-Based Cognitive Performance under Chronic Stress Is Associated with the Hippocampal Whole Transcriptomic Modification in Mice
Individual susceptibility determines the magnitude of stress effects on cognitive function. The hippocampus, a brain region of memory consolidation, is vulnerable to stressful environments, and the impact of stress on hippocampus may determine individual variability in cognitive performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to define the relationship between the divergence in spatial me...
