Animal research experiment maze 41500

for ratsfor mice

Versatile, automated modular device empowers researchers to assemble a custom configuration perfectly suited to spatial learning and spatial memory studies in rats or mice. The same modular device can be transformed into automated radial, Y, T and Delta mazes by simply rearranging the arms. Surface texture is selected for best rodent comfort as well as optimal results with video tracking software (high contrast, non reflective, automated sliding doors). Easy to set up, easy to clean and easy to disassemble to save space when not in use. Background Ideal for range of memory experiments: Assessing spatial memory Testing basic working memory Discriminating working from reference memory Evaluating impairments in the working memory Can be used for spontaneous exploratory behavior or reward-based navigation. Particularly well suited to optogenetics studies. Versatile, unobstructed animal tracking Novel, multi-maze by Ugo Basile can be easily combined to construct a range of custom configurations: Y-Maze T-Maze (Start arm is required) 8-Arm Radial Maze Delta Maze Unobstructed animal tracking using proprietary sliding doors that retract quickly and silently, using automated up and down movements that are ideal for video tracking. Optimal results with any video-tracking software. Our mazes provide high contrast colors and non-reflective, anti-glare surface. Maze surface texture is selected for best rodent comfort – anti-slip and “warm” (rather than a smooth or cold surface that rodents find uncomfortable).
