Background

  • The test enables the initial exploratory activity of the animal and its variations brought about by psychotropic drugs to be assessed. 
  • The normal mouse of either gender, when confronted with a new environment, will explore holes in the substrate of its environment by poking its nose in and out of the hole a few times, then move on to the next hole.
  • The test can be easily performed. It lasts a few minutes and does not require any previous training of the animal.

 Durable, optimized for video tracking

  • Each board has 16 holes and is made of tough, durable grey Perspex.
  • Supplied with grey opaque or transparent walls. 
  • Non-reflective, anti glare, matt finish is optimized for video tracking. It also prevents animals from seeing reflections that may alter their behavior.
  • Mouse version is sized 40cm x 40cm and the rat version is 1m x 1m.
  • Easy to assemble and clean.

    The Open Field is used to assess exploratory behavior. Validated for use in the measurement of anxiety related behaviors. Also suited to the novel object recognition (NOR) test.

    Decreased anxiety leads to increased exploratory behavior. Increased anxiety results in less locomotor motion and preference for the edges of the field.
