Cognitive Tests – Morris Water Maze

The Morris Water Maze is a widely used behavioral test for assessing spatial learning, memory, and cognitive function in rodents

Key Research Model Applications of Morris Water Maze

During the Morris Water Maze (MWM) test, mice need to learn the location of a submerged platform in a circular water pool using the visual cues around the maze. MWM is the standard test for detecting cognitive impairments in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and other impairments of long-term spatial memory.
