Response Wheel

ENV-113M
Response Wheel for Rat

This response device is patterned after a design by Dr. Conan Kornetsky, Boston University. It is mounted on a 3/8 size rat modular panel and consists of a 2.75" (7.0 cm) wide wheel that is 2.75" (7.0 cm) in diameter and has twenty stainless steel rods placed around the circumference. The wheel is easily turned by a test animal to produce a switch closure for every 90 degrees of rotation. This device is particularly useful in intra-cranial self stimulation studies or any time motor performance may be impaired.

Dimensions:
Panel: 3.0" W x 4.875" H (7.6 cm x 12.4 cm)

ENV-113AW
Response Wheel for Mouse,
Wide Panel Mount

The width of the wheel is approximately 1.5" (3.8 cm) and is mounted on a 1/2 size mouse modular panel. This wheel has been modeled after the standard rat wheel but proportioned for the mouse. It incorporates a resistance free photobeam detector in place of a micro switch to record a response for every 90 degrees of rotation. The outside diameter of the wheel is 2.25" (5.7 cm) with twenty 0.094" (0.24 cm) diameter rods placed on a 2.0" (5.1 cm) diameter circle.

Dimensions:
Panel: 2.355" W x 3.5" H (6.0 cm x 8.9 cm)

ENV-113AM
Response Wheel for Mouse
Narrow Panel Mount

The width of the wheel is approximately 0.75" (1.9 cm) and is mounted on a modular panel that is 1.688" (4.3 cm) wide. This wheel has been modeled after the standard rat wheel proportioned for the mouse and incorporating a resistance free photobeam detector in place of a micro switch to record a response for every 90 degrees of rotation. The outside diameter of the wheel is 2.25" (5.7 cm) with twenty 0.094" (2.4 mm) diameter rods placed on a 2.0" (5.1 cm) diameter circle.
