The T-maze task is an investigation of spatial learning and memory. Subjects are often taught to discriminate between the two arms based on visual, olfactory, tactile or even auditory cues during consecutive trials. Subsequently, reversal learning or retention can be investigated.
Alternatively the T-maze is sometimes used for place preference testing.
The T-maze is similar to the Y-maze. Read more about the Y-maze here! We also offer a specific T-maze (cross maze) for zebrafish studies.
High quality mazes
The Noldus T-maze is specifically designed for working with rats or mice. Our standard design is made from grey non-reflective material, and is ideal for video tracking with EthoVision XT and is easy to clean. It also comes with three partitions so you can easily section off each arm.
