Human spatial navigation deficits after traumatic brain injury shown in the arena maze, a virtual Morris water maze.
OBJECTIVE Survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) often have spatial navigation deficits. This study examined such deficits and conducted a detailed analysis of navigational behaviour in a virtual environment. DESIGN TBI survivors were tested in a computer simulation of the Morris water maze task that required them to find and remember the location of an invisible platform that was always i...
متن کاملIntrahippocampal Anisomycin Impairs Spatial Performance on the Morris Water Maze.
UNLABELLED New memories are thought to be solidified (consolidated) by de novo synthesis of proteins in the period subsequent to learning. This view stems from the observation that protein synthesis inhibitors, such as anisomycin (ANI), administered during this consolidation period cause memory impairments. However, in addition to blocking protein synthesis, intrahippocampal infusions of ANI ca...
متن کاملMonitoring spatial learning and memory in Alzheimer's disease mouse models using the Morris Water Maze.
Mouse models of Alzheimer's Disease are essential for understanding how pathological cascades alter neural circuitry and eventually disrupt cognitive function. A key prerequisite for the use of such models, therefore, is the ability to accurately and reliably measure cognitive function. The Morris Water Maze has emerged in the field as the standard test for assessing spatial cognition. There ar...
متن کاملUsing the Morris Water Maze to Assess Spatial Learning and Memory in Weanling Mice
Mouse models have been indispensable for elucidating normal and pathological processes that influence learning and memory. A widely used method for assessing these cognitive processes in mice is the Morris water maze, a classic test for examining spatial learning and memory. However, Morris water maze studies with mice have principally been performed using adult animals, which preclude studies ...
متن کاملEffects of low-dose lipopolysaccharide and age on spatial learning in different Morris water maze protocols
OBJECTIVES Animals administered lipopolysaccharide exhibit dose-related sickness behaviors (decreased food intake, weight loss, and cognitive changes). While research has demonstrated that spatial learning is impaired following a lipopolysaccharide immune challenge, the results differ depending on the methodology used to evaluate spatial learning. Additionally, few studies have evaluated the ef...
