Widely used to measure preference and spatial memory and learning tasks in laboratory animals. The simple T-shape design provides a single choice point with only two alternatives. Especially for CNS disorder studies. High quality maze with rat and mouse versions. Provides optimal results with video tracking software (high contrast, non reflective). Surface texture selected for rodent comfort. Easy to set up, easy to clean. Background Animals learn to alternate between arms based on their memory of the previously visited arms or choose an arm based on the reward presented. Durable, optimized for video tracking and rodent comfort High quality, easy to assemble. All materials are selected to be sturdy for reliability and durability. Perspex walls fit solidly in the slotted metal base, but can be easily and quickly detached for easy cleaning and storage. A movable door is provided with the maze, to create a start compartment. This can be removed when the test starts. Engineered by Ugo Basile to optimize video tracking success through our use of high contrast, non-reflective surfaces: Selection of high-contrast colors for optimal motion tracking: grey, white, black, (Ugo Basile) light-blue or custom. Use of non-reflective, anti-glare surface. Reflections and glare are a common source of error in video tracking. We avoid this! Two sizes are available, for either mice or rats. The mouse T-Maze, has a 35cm long stem and two 30cm long arms that are 5cm wide and 15cm tall. The rat model has a 50cm long stem, and two 40cm long arms that are 10cm wide and 20cm tall.
