The Multi-Maze components, one of the different arenas provided, and the required number of arms, can be easily combined to set-up an electronically controlled maze, in the following configurations:
- Y-Maze
- T-Maze (Start arm is required)
- 8-Arm Radial Maze
for either Rat or Mouse.
The proprietary sliding doors retract in the maze floor, quickly, but silently, ensuring unobstructed animal tracking, while guaranteeing smooth, silent, totally automated up and down movements, making it the best solution for videotracking, in particular in optogenetics studies.
The new Multi-Maze will help the researcher to conduct fully automated memory experiments such as:
- Assessing spatial memory
- Testing basic working memory
- Discriminating working from reference memory
- Evaluating impairments in the working memory
All the animal mazes manufactured by Ugo Basile are designed with high-contrast colors and non-reflective coatings, providing optimal results with any video-tracking software. Our mazes are sturdy and easy to clean, making them the most reliable mazes on the market.
Surface texture was selected for best rodent’s comfort. Walls are available with standard or low profile; different colors or textures available on request.
The electronic unit features USB interface, 8 independent TTL inputs and integration with video-tacking software.
