These complete T-Maze packages include test environment specifically designed for the rat or mouse. All control modules and software are identical. Each maze features three automatic guillotine doors, dual sensors at the entrance to the start runway, a single sensor at the entrance to each goal runway, and a pellet dispenser with head entry detector at the end of each goal runway. The 14 mg pellet dispenser (ENV-203-14) is available by request in place of the 20 mg pellet dispenser (ENV-203-20). These basic mazes can be enhanced to meet a wide variety of applications.
The standard maze software application (SOF-700RA-9) provides a left/right/alternate training procedure plus a forced/delay/choice task with applicable user defined variables. Each task requires operator intervention to return the animal to the start box; however, all timing and performance data is recorded automatically. These MedState NotationT™ procedures may be edited by the user or used as a model to create unique applications. Custom code is also available (sold separately). Order a MED-SYST-8 or MED-SYST-16 interface and software package separately to run up to eight or sixteen test stations respectively. |
