Highlights•Among vertebrates, rodents are well known for their ability to solve complex
mazes.•We tested guppies in a maze consisting of six consecutive T-junctions.•Both the …

Previous studies have demonstrated that animals use multiple strategies to solve spatial
tasks. We used a T-maze to examine spatial behavior in crayfish, using visual and tactile …

More than 100 years since the first maze designed for rodent research, researchers now
have the choice of a variety of mazes that come in many different shapes and sizes. Still old …

The T-maze has commonly been used to investigate the mechanisms underlying spatial
learning in vertebrates and has yielded much information about how animals use response …

Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) were tested in aquatic versions of radial arm mazes.
In the first experiment, the fish were trained to find tubifex worms in an eight-arm maze in …

Purpose. Mazes have been used as tests of learning and memory for at least 100 years (1).
The length of time it takes an animal to navigate a maze to which it has been previously …

Abstract The Morris Water Maze is a widely used task in studies of spatial learning with
rodents. Classical performance measures of animals in the Morris Water Maze include the …

A chasm divides the huge corpus of maze studies found in the literature, with animals tested
in mazes on the one side and humans tested with mazes on the other. Advances in …

Two strains of zebrafish, WIK and a second-generation wild strain were reared in either a
structurally simple or complex environment and compared in their ability to locate a food …

Several studies have demonstrated that mammals, birds and fish use comparable spatial
learning strategies. Unfortunately, except in insects, few studies have investigated spatial …
