The data for this experiment came from a student named David Merrell, who collected them as part of a high school science project.

Merrell raised three groups of mice.

They were originally taught to navigate a maze for food, and then were placed back in the maze each week and the time to run the maze was collected. (Actually there were three trials each week, and the data file gives those three times).
Included are also the mean and the median running time per week.
Finally, the weights of each mouse when they were received from the breeding lab and at each of the four weeks of testing (wt0 to wt4) are included.
