English: Performance in Y-maze. Overview of YMaze scoring module, also applicable for other maze-like configurations, including T-maze, zero-maze, open field, place preference, etc. Separate GUIs and modules for each are provided in the toolbox. Users define regions of interest, such as arms of a maze or subdivisions of an arena and the algorithm computes the amount of time spent in each ROI and the number of transitions between the ROIs. A simple visual output in a bar-code like format is generated for each experiment, which can be useful to detect patterns of exploration. Common measures of performance specific to different maze-like configurations, such as latency to first exit and risk assessment in elevated zero-maze or path length and number of errors for Barnes maze are computed.
