What Does MWM Stand For?
MWM stands for Morris Water Maze
MWM, or Morris Water Maze, is a widely used experimental test designed to assess spatial learning and memory in rodents. It involves placing a subject in a circular pool filled with water, where it must locate a hidden platform. The task examines cognitive function by measuring the time taken and the path taken by the animal to find the platform, providing valuable insights into mechanisms of memory and learning as well as potential effects of neurological disorders and treatments.
