Morris Water Maze
Objective: Learning and memory assessment measuring escape latencies over 6 trial days to evaluate cognitive performance in transgenic mice
This is a Morris Water Maze protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2005 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

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
Conduct Morris water maze trials to measure escape latencies as an indicator of learning and memory performance
Note: Significant reductions in escape latencies were observed over the first 3 of 6 trial days in exercised animals

“Long-term exercise also enhanced the rate of learning of TgCRND8 animals in the Morris water maze, with significant (p < 0.02) reductions in escape latencies over the first 3 (of 6) trial days”
