Radial Maze (8-Arm Maze) 放射迷宮（八臂迷宮）

The TSE Radial Mazes are completely computerized systems used to investigate hippocampus-dependent learning and memory performance. In the usual task food is available at the end of each arm or in selected arms only. The animal has to learn to visit each arm without going back to an already-visited empty arm or entering an arm that has never been baited. Learning and memory impairments will influence the performance in subsequent retention tests.
TSE放射迷宮是完全電腦化的系統，用于研究依賴海馬體的學習和記憶性能。 在通常的任務中食物存在于每個選擇臂或選定的迷宮臂中。動物必須學會訪問每個迷宮臂而不回到一個已經訪問了的空臂或進入從未放誘餌的臂。 學習和記憶障礙會影響隨后保留測試中的表現。

In the Radial Maze software a variety of control parameters can be defined including the start position, termination criterion, feeding pattern, or whether the animal is to be confined in the center to prevent perseverative behavior (only if automatic doors are present). The number of correct choices, i.e. first entries into baited arms, as well as performance errors are calculated. The maze can also be run with non-baited arms or using the continuous refilling option to monitor the locomotion pattern in the maze.
在放射迷宮軟件中可以定義各種控制參數，包括起始位置，終止標準，給食方式，或者動物是否被限制于在中心，以防止固著行為（僅當有自動門時）。計算得到正確選擇的次數，例如進入誘餌臂，以及表現錯誤。 迷宮也可以不使用誘餌的迷宮臂運行或者使用持續再填選項以監測迷宮中運動模式。

The TSE Radial Maze is also available as a non-automated system for use in the TSE VideoMot2 system.
