BIOBSERVE - Radial Maze Plug-In

Radial Maze Plug-In

Introduction
The eight armed radial maze is a common experimental setup in investigating spatial orientation and memory performance in rodents. Their task is to find the locations of food rewards at the end of some of the arms and to remember these locations for successive tests.
Therefore visual cues beyond the bounds of the maze must be perceptible to the animal. Success and progression can be measured by evaluating the elaboration of strategy or by the time to pass the test. This maze is suitable for long-term-memory tests as well as working and reference memory tests. Diverse time parameters, sequence of arm visits and error scoring are the most important arguments recorded by the plug-in.

Radial Maze Plug-In makes full use of the Viewer capabilities and ads features like error validation, strategy detection and a session planner. The analysis functions cover statistics on individual animals, on animal groups and comparisons between groups.

File administration is terribly easy with this plug-in. Settings and results are saved in different files, but they are all conjoined with the configuration file. So you just have to take care about this file. Additionally results can be exported to handle them with other software, like Excel.
