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.
