A variant of the Morris water task for assessing learning and memory processes in mice

Abstract excerpt

The Morris water task (MWT) is commonly used to assess rodent spatial learning and memory. Our goal was to develop a 3-phase variant of the hidden goal water task to assess old and new spatial memories acquired in the same context using various measures of spatial learning in C57BL/6 mice. In the first phase, mice were pre-trained to an initially hidden location. The second phase consisted of a massed training ses...
