Learning and Memory

Various test paradigms exist to explore learning and memory and can be run in either simple or complex configurations to detect different degrees of functional alteration. Among others, CNS|CRO offers the Morris Water Maze, Novel Water Maze, Radial Arm Maze and Barnes Circular Maze to test spatial learning and memory. These tests all require integrity of the hippocampal formation and associated structures. All paradigms can be run in cued or uncued configurations. Depending upon the parameters used, T- and Y-mazes can assess either operant conditioning (e.g. cued tasks) or spatial learning (e.g. reliance on egocentric cues).
