水迷宫

水迷宫(MWM,Morris Water Maze)是一种用于评估小鼠或大鼠空间学习和记忆能力的实验。在实验中,动物被放置在一个装满水的环形水池中,其中有一个潜在的水下台。通过学习和记忆,动物需要找到并记住这个台的位置。在多次试验后,观察动物在水池中的游泳路径和找台的时间,以评估其空间认知和学习能力。MWM 广泛用于神经生物学、药物评估和神经退行性疾病研究中。


The Morris Water Maze (MWM) is an experiment used to evaluate the spatial learning and memory abilities of mice or rats. In the experiment, animals were placed in a water-filled circular pool with a potential underwater platform. Through learning and memory, the animal needs to find and remember the location of this platform. After multiple trials, the animals' swimming path in the pool and the time it takes to find the platform are observed to evaluate their spatial cognition and learning abilities. MWM is widely used in neurobiology, drug evaluation, and neurodegenerative disease research.
