Spatial recognition memory and motor activity were carried out in a previously described two-trial
Y-maze.[21] In each trial, the mice were placed onto the end of one arm and allowed to explore freely for 5 min.
After viewing the initial number, each bee would fly through a hole into a decision chamber where it could either choose to fly to the left or right side of the
Y-maze depending on operation to which she had been trained for.
In both models,
Y-Maze and Positive Emotional Learning, performance was significantly impaired following repeat closed head injury.

Y-maze before and after scopolamine exposition in rats treated with different substances into the
Y-maze.
Previous behavioural data published by our laboratory on the same cohort of female mice found preadolescent OVX in WT mice to cause
Y-maze deficits, which were relieved by estradiol but not progesterone treatment, albeit the progesterone group was trending toward an improvement in
Y-maze behaviour [9].

OVX also impaired object recognition performance in the novel object recognition test and spatial cognitive performance in the
Y-maze test and the water maze test.
