Exploration Mazes

Familiarization and developing an understanding of the environment and the various stimuli present in it contribute to the survivability of the organism. Exploration, whether motivated by rewards, goals, or curiosity, is a crucial aspect of development across all organisms.

Explorative mazes are a common task used in the study of rodent behavior and cognition. Mice and rats are commonly used in these studies because they are readily available, easy to handle, and have a well-characterized nervous system.
