The Y-maze is similar to the T-maze, and is a test to investigate spatial learning and memory. However, contrary to the T-maze, it has three similar arms that are all placed at 120 degrees to each other. Some researchers prefer the Y-maze over the T-maze because learning time might be decreased.
High quality mazes
The Noldus Y-maze is specifically designed for testing rats or mice. Our standard design is made from grey non-reflective material, and is ideal for video tracking with EthoVision XT and easy to clean. It also comes with three partitions to easily section off each arm.
Made for you
The Noldus Y-maze can be easily adjusted or completely built to your specifications. For example, you can choose a different color or add an IR backlight. Automated doors and pellet dispensers are also an option, and can be controlled with EthoVision XT. All mazes are available in a cost-efficient package deal that includes a computer and a full EthoVision XT software license for video tracking. This license can also be used for video tracking and automation in other behavioral tests.
