The new Ugo Basile Conditioned Place Preference (CPP) cage is a 2-compartment box to evaluate the abuse potential of substances and the motivational effects of drugs in mice or rats.
The box includes the contextual cues required by the experimental paradigm:
- 4 interchangeable floors with square or circular patterns
- 3 sets of walls
The new CPP box has been designed and optimized for use with any video-tracking software or visual scoring.
The 2 compartments differ for the walls colour and patterns and for the floor patterns and texture.
Both the floors and the wall contexts are interchangeable so that the visual and tactile difference between the 2 compartments can be easily adjusted by the scientist: replaceing the walls is quick and easy, hence on request we can provide customized sets of walls, with different pattern or texture.
