Virtual Reality (VR) can be used for mice to investigate brain functions during decision making. The JetBall-Dome is a worldwide unique product with a Dome for mirror projection of a virtual environment and a spherical treadmill with optional operant devices. The JetBall, an air-cushioned spherical treadmill allows a restrained animal to navigate in a virtual environment. The animal can be examined with electrophysiological, imaging and optogenetic methods while it performs behavioural tasks employing navigation, cognition, learning and memory.
