The Ring at Thirty Centimetres

Search Strategy in a Hypoperfusion Cohort That Reached Control Latencies in the Water Maze

A paper from the School of Underlying Conditions classifies the swim paths in the tracking archive of one completed water-maze cohort, 22 rats with occluded carotid arteries and 20 sham-operated, whose escape latencies had converged by the fifth training day. Just over half of the occluded animals' final-day trials were a circuit swum 31 cm from the wall, the platform's own distance; moving the platform along that ring favoured them over the sham animals, and moving it to the centre of the pool did the reverse.
