A 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 – 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 کاملEffect of Ovariectomy on Reference Memory Version of Morris Water Maze in Young Adult Rats
Background: The effect of ovariectomy and accompanying sudden loss of circulating gonad hormones on spatial learning performance in the young adult rats was examined. We hypothesized that spatial learning and memory in a considerable number of women who undergo a surgical menopause and estrogen deprivation before their natural menopause be impaired. Methods: In this study, we used 26 Wistar ra...
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 کاملAutomatic Tracking Analysis in Morris Water Maze Biomedical Videos
We present an automatic video processing system for tracking analysis in the Morris water escape testing videos. This system is able to extract automatically from such videos information (metadata) describing the spatiotemporal trajectories of animals in the maze and the timings of behavioral events such as stopping or crossing of a target area. The specific semantic metadata are produced by th...
