	WHFoods: Blueberries
		Spanish researchers at the University of Barcelona found that after 8 weeks of feeding lab rats various blueberries, they saw a reversal of age-related declines in the rats' ability to find their way through the Morris water maze, a measure of the animals spatial learning ability and memory.
		They gave old rats (aged 19 months) either a control or 2% blueberry diet for 8-10 weeks, tested them in the Morris water maze to check their spatial learning and memory, and then analyzed different brain regions for the presence of anthocyanins.
		In the rats given the blueberry-containing diet, several anthocyanins were found in the cerebellum, cortex, hippocampus or striatum, but not in the controls— findings that are the first to show that blueberry's polyphenols can cross the blood brain barrier and localize in various brain regions important for learning and memory.

		These include a Morris water maze, video tracking system for open field, automated radial arm mazes, swim stress apparatus, chambers for olfactory discrimination and memory, rodent operant chambers for training DM and DNM with retractable levers, avian operant chambers with video displays and touchscreens, serial reaction task chambers, and shuttle boxes.
		We have tested the effects of stress and coping in this new paradigm on standard shuttle-escape learning as well as navigational learning and memory in a Morris water maze task.
