A common procedure for recording Morris maze performance is to trace the animal's path on a template of the maze. This procedure is used in a computer-based recording system. A maze template is placed on a digitizing tablet, an electronic cursor with pen attachment is used to trace the animal's path, and the data are sent to a computer where a program called Spatial Maze obtains the following measurements: total time in seconds, total distance traveled in inches, average speed, absolute and percent time in each quadrant, absolute and percent time in each annulus, the XY coordinate information needed to reconstruct the complete path of the animal, swimming angles, and the number of rears while on the platform. These measurements are then sent to Excel for statistical and graphic analyses.
记录莫里斯迷宫表现的一个常见程序是在迷宫模板上描绘动物的路径。此程序用于基于计算机的记录系统。将迷宫模板放置在数字化平板电脑上,使用带有笔附件的电子光标描绘动物的路径,然后将数据发送到计算机,在那里一个名为“空间迷宫”的程序会获取以下测量值:以秒为单位的总时间、以英寸为单位的总行进距离、平均速度、在每个象限中的绝对时间和百分比时间、在每个环形区域中的绝对时间和百分比时间、重建动物完整路径所需的XY坐标信息、游泳角度以及在平台上时的直立次数。然后将这些测量值发送到Excel进行统计和图形分析。
