Morris water maze with AAV vectors

From 2021 to 2025, 103 animal research papers mentioned AAV vectors and the Morris water maze in their title or abstract.

That is 10 times the 10 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention AAV vectors and any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 5.7 times as many.

103 animal research papers from 2021 to 2025 mentioned AAV vectors and the Morris water maze
19% of the 546 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention AAV vectors and a test mention the Morris water maze
2% of the 5,392 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention the Morris water maze also mention AAV vectors
10 times as many papers as in 2011 to 2015

Which species the papers used

Each bar is a share of the 103 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.

Species

Mouse
79 papers 77%
Rat
25 papers 24%
Other animals
1 paper 1%

“Other animals” counts papers that use none of the species this chart names.

Tests mentioned alongside the Morris water maze

Each bar is one test, with how many of the 103 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 52 (50%) mention no other test.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions AAV vectors and the Morris water maze.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.

More pairings

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

The page on the Morris water maze counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on AAV vectors ranks the tests mentioned with it.
