Unlocking Insights

Key Results in Water Maze Experiments

In water maze experiments, a wide array of metrics is available to accurately assess subjects’ performance. These metrics offer insights into navigation strategies, learning abilities, and spatial memory retention. Leveraging robust analytics, researchers can derive nuanced interpretations, advancing our understanding of cognitive processes and behavior in water maze experiments.

Latency to Enter the Platform Zone

Measures how quickly the subject reaches the platform zone, reflecting navigation speed and learning ability.

Time Spent in the Platform Zone Quadrant

Tracks duration spent in the target quadrant, indicating platform preference or avoidance.

Time Spent in Any Defined Zone, such as a Thigmotaxis Zone

Monitors time spent in a set zone, revealing spatial preferences and behavioral patterns.

Time Spent in Whishaw’s Corridor

Measures how long the subject navigates within the defined corridor, reflecting locomotor activity and spatial exploration.

Distance Travelled in Whishaw’s Corridor

Calculates total distance covered, providing insight into activity levels and area exploration within the corridor.

Corrected Integrated Path Length (CIPL)

Evaluates distance and path efficiency, offering a refined metric for navigation performance and exploration strategy.

Head Tracking and Test Automation in the Elevated Plus Maze

Reliable head tracking is essential for automating the Elevated Plus Maze. Our system supports dynamic zone configuration and ensures precise test completion once the animal reaches the designated escape area.

Reflections & Diving Detection

Advanced tracking minimizes issues from reflections and diving in water mazes, ensuring consistent and accurate data capture.

Auto-Start Upon Entry

Auto track when the subject enters the water or when the experimenter leaves view—enabling smooth, hands-free starts.

Flexible Zone Mapping

Easily configure zones to match platform changes. Moveable zones boost accuracy and streamline the analysis workflow.

Efficient Test & Analysis

Automated scoring and comparison tools simplify testing, reduce setup time, and improve the clarity of behavioral results.

Exploring Water Maze Navigation Strategies

Track Plots and Heat Maps in Water Maze Experiments

Track plots provide dynamic visualization of animals’ navigation paths in water-maze experiments. Researchers can customize these plots with options for color coding by time segments and markers to highlight specific events, enhancing the interpretability of data.

Heat maps offer comprehensive data representation in water-maze experiments, illustrating individual test data or mean data for groups of animals. They are particularly useful for comparative analysis, enabling researchers to assess group performance in probe trials visually.

Tailoring Experiments to Evolving Needs

Dynamic Experimentation: Flexibility in Water-Maze Protocols
