※Single maze system
You can choose devices and design your own maze. We can supply corridor which you can assemble freely, photo-beam sensor to detect animal position, reward supply device, door motor unit, forced exercise supply device. All the devices are program controllable. The maze is compatible with cable & fiber of in vivo electrophysiological study.
必要なデバイスを選択して組み立てて、迷路を作ることができます。自在に組み合わせることができるコリドーと、動物の位置情報を把握するためのフォトビームセンサー、報酬提示デバイスが用意されております。オプションで強制運動提示デバイス等を追加することも可能です。すべてのデバイスはプログラマブルに制御することが可能です。
The T-shaped free maze with a passageway from goal to start. Each section of the maze is equipped with an automated door, which opens and closes with the movement of the subject. By controlling the function of the door, the subject can be voluntarily directed from goal to start and start to goal throughout the test. With this automated system, there is no longer a need for the experimenter to physically handle the subject during testing. At each goal, there are food trays with pellet sensors and food dispensers. By using the sensors, food pellets are automatically dispensed as well as discharged during testing. Therefore, other than the experimenter handling the subject to place them in the maze, the experiment can run automatically.
動物の迷路上の位置をフォトビームセンサーで検知し、床下に格納されるドアにより動物の行動を制限し、ペレットディスペンサーで報酬を供給し、センサー付餌皿が報酬獲得の有無を検知し、餌皿に残ったペレットは回収します。このシステムにより、動物をスタートエリアに置くだけで全自動で実験が進行します。
