2.4.6. Morris Water Maze (MWM)

Spatial learning and memory were measured using a modified Morris water maze test. Prior to any testing, the mice received pre-training using a covered straight alley to teach the mice to swim and climb onto a platform. Following this, the mice were given a maximum of 90 s to find a hidden platform from different starting positions (one session/day, five trials/session with a 2 min ITI). Their performance was tracked via Any-maze software (Stoelting Co., Wood Dale, IL, USA). Path length and swim speed were used as measures of performance.
