Listen to the hippocampal neurons of rat as it dreams and awakes from its deepest thoughts. As it comes out of its dream state, the rats 'place cells' are active in distinct locations (place fields) while a rat runs along a track.

The radial arm maze test is one of the most widely used tests for assessing anxiety, working memory and hippocampal plasticity. Initially placed at the centre of the maze, the entry of the mouse into one of the 8 paths triggers an edit in the human footage. The resulting human montage provides a unique output to evaluate mouse performance and memory retention.
