Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions the Y-maze in its title or abstract, and studies sleep loss and sleep disorders.

We tell whether a paper studies sleep loss and sleep disorders from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.

The page on sleep loss and sleep disorders research names the subject headings we count as sleep loss and sleep disorders. Download the test list for the search terms we used for the Y-maze, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.

More tests and disease models

Every pairing of a disease model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on the Y-maze counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on sleep loss and sleep disorders research ranks the tests by their papers on sleep loss and sleep disorders.
