Y-maze Continuous Alternation Task
Objective: To evaluate the animals' working memory performance using the Y-maze Continuous Alternation Task
This is a Y-maze Continuous Alternation Task protocol using Rat as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps, 1 equipment items, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2025 paper published in Adv Biomed Res.
