Eight arm maze for mice.

C G Pick, J Yanai

    The International Journal of Neuroscience
    |October 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Researchers developed an eight-arm maze for mice to assess spatial memory. This sensitive apparatus effectively detects performance differences, crucial for neuropharmacological studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Behavioral Neuroscience
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Spatial memory is crucial and linked to hippocampal integrity in rats.
    • Mice are valuable for neuropharmacological research but lack specialized maze apparatus.
    • Previous research linked neonatal phenobarbital exposure to hippocampal neuron damage.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an eight-arm maze apparatus for mice.
    • To create a motivational procedure for mice in maze tasks.
    • To demonstrate the sensitivity of the mouse eight-arm maze for detecting subtle performance differences.

    Main Methods:

    • Adaptation of an existing eight-arm maze for mouse usability.
    • Development of a novel motivational procedure for mice.
