Spatial Memory Task
Objective: Assessment of hippocampus-dependent spatial memory in Mecp2 mutant mice to determine if learning deficits are present in these animals
This is a Spatial Memory Task protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2006 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Spatial Memory Assessment
Hippocampus-dependent spatial memory was tested in Mecp2 308 mutant mice
Note: This was one of three memory types assessed; spatial memory was significantly impaired in Mecp2 308/Y mutant males
