An old test for new neurons: refining the Morris water maze to study the functional relevance of adult hippocampal neurogenesis
The Morris water maze represents the de-facto standard for testing hippocampal function in laboratory rodents. In the field of adult hippocampal neurogenesis, however, using this paradigm to assess the functional relevance of the new neurons yielded surprisingly inconsistent results. While some auth...
