(A) Search strategies used by rodents to locate the hidden platform in the water maze. (B) Progression toward hippocampus-dependent search strategies with (upper panel) and without adult neurogenesis (lower panel). The experiment included two acquisition phases before and after a platform reversal (Garthe et al., 2009). (C) Effects of selective lesions to different brain structures on search strategies in the water maze. Blurred items represent strategies not shown following the indicated lesion. (D) Chaining as an instantiation of the least-effort-principle in small but not in large water maze arenas.
