Radial arm maze
A simple homemade eight-arm radial arm maze with sidewalls to prevent interarm traverses The radial arm maze was designed by Olton and Samuelson in 1976 to measure spatial learning and memory in rats.[1] The original apparatus consists of eight equidistantly spaced arms, each about 4 feet long, and all radiating from a small circular central platform (later versions have used as few as three[2] and as many as 48 arms[3]). At the end of each arm there is a food site, the contents of which are not visible from the central platform.

BrainSTEM (Brain STructured Experimental Metadata) is a collaborative electronic lab notebook for FAIR experimental neuroscience. It has a customizable web interface and a standardized yet flexible data model and is designed to capture a range of electrophysiology, imaging, and behavioral data. Granular permissions, including one-click public sharing, promote collaborations and open science. BrainSTEM is designed with ease of adoption and use as a primary consideration and facilitates compliance with NIH and other data-sharing requirements.

BrainSTEM can accelerate your science, promote collaboration, extend the lifetime of your data, and make FAIR data sharing easy. Please see the dedicated documentation website at below link.
