Barnes Maze
Objective: Assessment of spatial learning and navigation ability in mice through escape hole localization
This is a Barnes Maze protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2013 paper published in Cell stem cell.

Barnes Maze Testing
Mice were tested on the Barnes maze to assess spatial learning and navigation ability. The test measures the ability of mice to locate and escape through a designated hole.
Note: This was one of multiple learning assessments performed alongside object-location memory and fear conditioning tests
