Model S60240
Model S60140

These mazes have a higher resolution and specially created measures which enhance the ability to quantify anxiety. Use multiple zones to report
how far an animal retreats from the intersection into closed arms and how far it dares into the open arms. This may be adjusted between multiple
analysis on a locked data set for quantifying the animal’s emotionality.
An exclusive under the floor hidden tracking system means no visible sensors and no chance of sensor damage from the animals. Proprietary
filters are designed to detect and ignore feces and other matter on the floor while precisely tracking and counting only the animals movements andpositions. This unit runs on the HBSC100 Behavioral System Core Interface with H2050-0024 Motor Monitor II Software, along with a numberof other devices. Features include user definable intervals, distance traveled in inches or centimeters, fine movements, average speed, maximum
speed, movement episodes. Total distance traveled, speed and time spent in zones can also be used to quantify activity and exploratory behavior.

The Barnes maze is a popular test for assessing spatial learning and memory in rats and mice. The test involves making the surface of the mazeaversive using bright illumination. The animal is given the opportunity to escape the maze surface by crawling through the correct hole, underwhich is located a “safe box.” The amount of time required for the animal to locate the safe box may be measured with a video tracking system or
measured by the researcher.

MOTILITY TESTING
Rat and Mouse Staircases
Model 80300		

Model 80301

The staircase apparatus provides a simple, efficient and easy way to quantify the testing of skilled
paw reaching for both the rat (Model 80300) and the mouse (Model 80301). Two food pellets areplaced onto each step of two staircases located one on either side of a central platform (two widths
supplied). The animals are placed in a box relevant to their size and can reach down either side of
the platform to grasp, lift and retrieve food pellets from the steps of the staircase. The numbersof pellets removed provides a quantifiable measure of the distance and efficiency of reaching skill.
The design allows separate measurements of reaching capacity with the left and right paws, anddoes not require any constraint or restriction of the contralateral limb to measure performanceon the two sides separately. The test is sensitive to unilateral lesions of the striatum, forebrain
dopamine systems and sensorimotor cortex, as well as focal ischaemia.

Model 80300

The overall dimensions of the Rat unit are 360 mm x 120 mm (14 x 4.75 inches). The overall
size of the Mouse unit is 145 mm Long x 55 mm Wide x 51 mm High (7.625 x 2.125 x 2 inches).

Automated Mouse Reaching Chamber
Model 80870

Model 80870

The automated mouse reaching chamber allows researchers to simultaneously measure
motor behavior, cognitive processing and motivation. The two chamber design allows you totest two animals at the same time. Use the 80875 Home Cage Training Hopper to facilitate
training. Most labs add the 86130 Counter with Digital Display for a simple count of reachattempts. The counter could be connected to a Scurry Interface for placing reach attempts
in time bins, or the photo beams could be connected directly to an ABET Interface Package
to time stamp and count reach events. With the chamber divider removed, and additional
stimulus lamps, feeders etc. the reach task could be combined with a learned alternation task
under ABET program control.
• Motor Behavior: Skilled forepaw reaching behaviors are required to retrieve pellets fromthe food hopper.
• Cognitive Processing: Two reaching holes on opposite walls allow researchers to alternate
baited and non-baited hoppers within or between trials.
• Motivation: Latency measures from chamber introduction to the first reach attemptindicates motivation to retrieve pellets.

Model 80305

Balance Beam Test for Rats
Model 80305
The 80305 Balance Beam for Rats consists of a ledged tapered beam that can be supported between any open space. The test involves scoring
foot faults (slips) while the beam is traversed. The beam is marked so that the location of the fault can be noted for each limb within each of threecolor coded 45 cm bins of increasing difficulty. A 15 cm unscored “loading” and “unloading” section is provided at the beginning and end of thebeam. A dark box or home cage may be placed at the end of the beam to act as a reinforcer. A 2 cm ledge runs the length of the beam on bothsides providing a crutch for the animal to use when there is a deficit. Without the ledge crutch, the animal would be forced to alter its posture andweight distribution so that it relies on the non-impaired limbs.
