Sex differences in ICR mice in the Morris water maze task.
The Morris water maze (MWM) is one of the most common tasks used to assess spatial learning and memory ability in rodents. Genetic strain and gender are two prominent variants that influence spatial performance. Although it was reported that ICR (Institute of Cancer Research) mice exhibited an unchanged baseline performance in the training phase of the MWM task, this outbred strain has been wid...
متن کاملSex differences in the Morris water maze in young rats: temporal dimensions
environment. For thousands of years, spatial memory has contributed to our knowledge and exploration of the available resources in our surroundings. Spatial tasks reveal different abilities in male and female rats, although using different protocols, tasks, species and ages has produced variable results (Williams, Barnett and Meck, 1990; Berry, McMahan and Gallagher, 1997; Warren and Juraska, 1...
متن کاملSex differences and correlations in a virtual Morris water task, a virtual radial arm maze, and mental rotation.
Different tasks are often used to assess spatial memory in humans compared to nonhumans. In order to bridge this paradigmatic gap, we used a within-subject design to test 61 undergraduates on three spatial memory tasks. One of these tasks, the Vanderberg 3D mental rotation task, is classically used to assess spatial memory in humans. The other two tests are virtual analogues of two tasks used c...
متن کاملA Vanishing Sex Difference in the Virtual Morris Water Task
Sex differences are frequently, however, not consistently found in the domain of spatial navigation in mammalian species. Using a virtual Morris water task (VMWT) we tested the hypothesis that differential use of proximal and distal cues between males and females could account for previously observed human differences. In Astur, Ortiz, and Sutherland (1998) males had faster swim latencies to a ...
متن کاملMemory-Enhancing Activity of Palmatine in Mice Using Elevated Plus Maze and Morris Water Maze
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of palmatine on memory of Swiss young male albino mice. Palmatine (0.1, 0.5, 1 mg/kg, i.p.) and physostigmine (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.) per se were administered for 10 successive days to separate groups of mice. Effect of drugs on learning and memory of mice was evaluated using elevated plus maze and Morris water maze. Brain acetylcholinesterase act...
