COMPARISON OF RADIAL ARM MAZE ANDMORRIS WATER MAZE FOR EVALUATION OFSPATIAL MEMORY IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS DURING NEUROBEHAVIORAL TESTING
Abstract
Rodents are widely used for the evaluation of the spatial memory due to inherited predisposition and relatively easy training. A number of mazes have been successfully developed and used, with Morris water maze and eight-arm radial maze being two the most appropriate. In this review, we compare advantages and shortcomings of these two tests.
