Behavioral research experiment maze Hebb Williams

for micefor rats

Product Info The Hebb-Williams Maze is a behavioral task used for studying spatial working memory animals (Pritchett & Mulder 2004, Raut et al. 2014). It was observed that rodents have a remarkable ability to learn spatial locations, especially when baited with food rewards, and this has been adapted into a behavioral task. The maze consists of a square area with moveable internal walls, allowing the maze to be configured differently for each trial. There are six acquisition maze layouts and twelve testing maze layouts in the Hebb-Williams Maze battery. This task requires use of spatial working memory, and this ability to learn and remember the path through the maze can be effected by the administration of certain drugs or disease models.
