Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Morris Water Maze Testing
Mice were tested in a spatial learning task using the Morris Water Maze to assess spatial learning performance and long-term memory retention
Note: Shank1-deficient mice displayed enhanced performance in spatial learning task but impaired long-term memory retention
