Radial Arm Maze

The Radial Arm Maze is a scientific tool used to study memory and navigation, often with animals like rats. It consists of a central hub with multiple arms extending outward, each ending in a food well or target. The subject moves through the maze to find rewards, and researchers observe their ability to remember which arms they have already visited. This setup helps scientists understand how memory works, how animals plan their movements, and assess cognitive functions related to spatial awareness and learning.
