Y-Maze Protocol
Output Details
Description
The Y maze is a quick and easy way to evaluate a rodent’s spatial working memory by measuring their ability to effectively explore a Y shape maze. Rodents typically prefer to explore novel arms of the maze, rather than returning to arms they have previously visited. As such, rodents with intact working memory will alternate between all arms of the maze before returning to one they have visited previously.
