Richard L. Morris

Richard L. Morris was a notable psychologist and researcher best known for developing the "Morris Water Maze," a laboratory test used to study learning and memory in animals, especially rodents. This test involves an animal finding a hidden platform in a pool of water, helping scientists understand how the brain processes spatial information and navigational learning. Morris's work contributed significantly to neuroscience and our understanding of brain functions related to memory, including insights relevant to conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
