The Morris water-maze has been designed to test spatial orientation ability, learning and memory processes. In order to improve the analyse of the organization of the trajectory of rats, during the training phase, a computer program was elaborated. The study of the effect of a benzodiazepine, diazepam, was chosen to illustrate and validate this methodological approach. Results showed that rats pre-treated with diazepam (2 mg/kg) presented an impairment of spatial learning associated with the occurrence of a stereotyped circular swimming behaviour.
