Abstract: Objective To study the effects of platforms with different shapes on learning and memory capability using the Morris water maze. Methods Morris water maze was used to detect learning and memory capability of 44 healthy male SD rats. Two escape platforms with different shapes(cylinder or rod) were used to investigate the effects of different platforms on learning and memory capability. Results The data of escape latency showed no significant difference(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in probe trial(P>0.05). Conclusion Platforms with different shapes do not affect the learning and memory capability in Morris water maze.

Key words: Shape, Platform, Morris water maze, Learning and memory
