  • Employed a rodent treadmill (sphere) and fixation system within a 360° dome display.
  • Implemented positive reinforcement (sugared water) and visual cues for maze navigation and learning.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully habituated Wistar rats (6-7 months) to the VR setup and virtual maze.
    • Developed a protocol to assess working memory based on the time taken to locate the reward arm.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of using VR for precise cognitive function evaluation in rats.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed VR system and protocol enable effective assessment of working memory in rats.
    • VR application in biological experiments allows for enhanced control and accuracy in behavioral studies.
    • This approach advances the understanding of working memory mechanisms and their relation to behavior.
