Barnes Maze
The Barnes maze is a popular test for
assessing spatial learning and memory in
rats and mice. The test involves making
the surface of the maze aversive using
bright illumination. The animal is given
the opportunity to escape the maze surface
by crawling through the correct hole, under
which is located a “safe box.” The amount
of time required for the animal to locate the
safe box is measured by the researcher.
