Abstract

Summary: The radial arm water maze (RAWM) measures spatial learning by combining both a water maze and radial arm maze (RAM). This test measures both working and reference memory through a reward system, in this case escape from water. This method is advantageous to other RAM which use food as a reward in that it may be utilized with mice on specialized diets. Reference: Behavioral consequences of ovarian atrophy and estrogen replacement in the APPsswe mouse. Golub et al. Neurobiol Aging (2008) 29(10): 1512-1523.
