Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This protocol provides the information necessary to experimentally test rodents on a water escape radial-arm maze task assessing working and reference memory simultaneously. Apparatus setup, testing items needed, step-by-step test procedures, testing score sheets, performance quantification procedures, and troubleshooting are specified, detailed, and discussed. Examples of peer-reviewed published research literature using these procedures are also provided.
