Behavioral despair during a water maze learning task in mice.
In the case of mice, when the difficulty of a water maze learning task is increased, some animals gradually cease to swim, abandon adaptive learning, and become immobile. We trained 99 male C57BL/6N mice in a pool containing a hidden platform. The pool was surrounded by white featureless walls, and almost all external cues were removed. On the eighth day of escape training, 36 inferior-learners...
متن کاملBrain Interleukin-1 Facilitates Learning of a Water Maze Spatial Memory Task in Young Mice
The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) is produced by many types of cells, including immune cells in the periphery and glia and neurons in the brain. The type I IL-1 receptor (IL-1r1) is primarily responsible for transmitting the inflammatory effects of IL-1 and mediates several biological functions by binding to either IL-1α or IL-1β. IL-1β activation is associated with hippocampus-...
متن کاملNew approach to analyse navigational search strategies used by mice during a water maze task
The open-field water maze task is one of the most widely used behavioural tasks to investigate cognition and to assess spatial learning and memory in rodents [1]. The principle of the task relies on the motivation to locate a fixed hidden platform as the only mean of escape from the water. An improvement in performance recorded over trials and days, for example of latency or path length to reac...
متن کاملEffect of acute tritiated water (HTO) exposure on Maze learning in adult Swiss albino mice
Background: Brain is the most important organ as it controls and co- ordinates all the activities of our body. Reports on neuroethological investigations in mice particularly associated with learning and memory after radiation exposure are very scanty. Hence, present investigation is an attempt to examine the effects of low dose tritiated water (HTO) acute exposure on adult Swiss albino mice in...
متن کاملEffects of Acute or Chronic Ethanol Exposure during Adolescence on Behavioral Inhibition and Efficiency in a Modified Water Maze Task
Ethanol is well known to adversely affect frontal executive functioning, which continues to develop throughout adolescence and into young adulthood. This is also a developmental window in which ethanol is misused by a significant number of adolescents. We examined the effects of acute and chronic ethanol exposure during adolescence on behavioral inhibition and efficiency using a modified water ...
