Response Wheel



Kornetsky Wheel
ENV-113M
Response Wheel

This response device was patterned after a design by Dr. Conan Kornetsky, Boston University. It consists of a 2.75" (7.0 cm) wide wheel 2.75" (7.0 cm) in diameter formed by 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 Intracranial Self Stimulation studies or any time motor performance may be impaired.

ENV-113AW Response Wheel for Mouse (Wide)
ENV-113AW
Response Wheel - Mouse (Wide)

The width of the wheel is approximately 1.5" (3.8 cm) and is mounted on a modular panel that is 2.355" (6.0 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.

ENV-113AM
Response Wheel - Mouse (Narrow)

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.
