NEW ! A complete (hardware + software), dedicated and automated solution for the Elevated Plus Maze test, featuring unprecedented simplicity to run these very popular protocols. A user-friendly and innovative solution for your research on anxiety, depression and the screening of anxiolytic drugs. Presentation The Elevated Plus-Maze is a commonly used test to assess anxiety-like behavior in laboratory animals (rats/mice). Based on the natural fear that rodents have for height and open spaces, the Elevated Plus Maze is a general research tool in neurobiological anxiety field and usually uses to screen the efficacy of drugs. The Elevated-Plus-Maze (EPM) is one of the very first tests used by neuroscientists to evaluate anxiety-like behavior in rodents and the most widely used test after the Open Field to evaluate anxiolitic or anxiogenic effects. The EPM could also be considered among other various other tests for the screening of mice strains. The EPM can also be used to assess side effects of psychiatric disorders treatments. Bioseb proposes an all-inclusive solution for the Elevated-Plus-Maze (EPM) test with hardware and software components. Video tracking is a very good way to automate the Elevated-Plus-Maze (EPM) test for rats and mice, which is the the reason why we have designed a dedicated software application, the EPM-3C, to run any EPM protocols (compatible with hardware from Bioseb or other brands), based on a powerful video tracking system. The zone transition is matched perfectly with the manual scoring by using specific morphologic detection.
