A 2-compartment box that offers visual and tactile differences. For evaluating the abuse potential of substances and the motivational effects of drugs in mice or rats.
Interchangeable floors, optimized for use with video-tracking software or visual scoring, thanks to the grey, high-contrast color and non-smooth, non-reflective paint.
Background
Provides information on the rewarding or aversive effects of visible and tactile contextual cues associated with drugs.
The CPP test only requires the animal to carry out a simple operation (i.e. move from one compartment to the other) to approach or avoid the drug-paired compartment. The animal is expected to spend more time in the drug-paired compartment if the drug experience produced a positive effect.
Customizable, optimized for tracking
The box includes the contextual cues required by the experimental paradigm for the 2 customizable compartments:
4 interchangeable floors with square or circular patterns
3 sets of walls
Designed and optimized for use with any video-tracking software (such as ANY-maze) or visual scoring.
Quick and easy to change both the floors and the wall contexts for a visual and tactile difference between the 2 compartments.
On request we can provide customized sets of walls, with different patterns or textures.
