    Abstract:
    The radial-arm maze has proven to be a very useful technique for assessing spatial learning and memory in rodents. Many different sizes of radial-arm mazes have been used, with the most common being the 8-arm maze. The radial maze takes advantage of rodents’ natural tendency to explore new places for food reinforcement. They quickly learn the maze to asymptotic levels of choice accuracy performance against which drug, lesion, or behavioral manipulations can be made to assess the neurobehavioral bases of cognitive function.
