The three-chamber test is the classic test to assess social behavior and social memory in rodents. This may range from autism disease to dominance tests and social novelty. During the test one animal is freely moving while the other two are confined into circular grid bar cages.

The Ugo Basile system includes a high contrast or IR-transparent floor for the best quality video-tracking...

To perform Light/Dark Test with rats or mice for assessing anxiety. Useful in identifying and/or screening of anxiolytic and anxiogenic agents.

High quality maze with rat and mouse versions. Provides optimal results with video tracking software (high contrast, non reflective). Surface texture selected for rodent comfort. Easy to set up, easy to clean.

The Elevated Zero-Maze is an alternative model to the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM). Its circular design provides a smoother transition from closed to open space. The model is based on the rodent's instinctive tendency to explore novel environments and also to avoid unprotected open and elevated spaces. For neurobiological anxiety research.

The Elevated Zero-Maze for mouse IR version, is an alternative model to the Elevated ZERO Maze (EZM) for mouse.
It's completely built using a special plastic IR transparent material, legs including.
Using a bottom IR illumination (the Ugo Basile LUX 100) and an IR video camera for video tracking, the set-up, gives You the possibility to perform EZM test in darkness with a perfect hight...

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.

Enlargers for Mouse and Rat RotaRod are available to add multiple parameters to change the complexity of the experiment. Enlargers add-on for RotaRod come with grooves to increase the diameter of the rod or in smooth rubber to increase the diameter of the rod and change the surface from a grooved one to a smooth one. All the types of enlargers can be easily added to the rotating drum thanks to...

The complex wheel add-on for mouse and rat RotaRod introduces an additional complexity element for the animal to be tested. Thanks to the asymmetrical and adjustable bars it increases the test sensitivity and add a higher involvement of motor cortex and hippocampus, as compared to the classic rotarod test.

The Ugo Basile RotaRod is the 1st and original, invented after the Dunham and...

Climbing behavior can be of interest for the most diverse applications.

The Ugo Basile automated system replicates its first manual application in the Pain field, for measuring Pain-Depressed behavior. It showed that, while mild analgesics block pain-depressed climbing, strong analgesics fail to alleviate depression of climbing (Santos et al. 2023, “Climbing behavior by mice as an...

The Cincinnati Maze (9T-maze) is an evolution of the Biel Maze with an increased number of interconnected T-mazes.

It is most commonly used as a water maze to avoid scent issues and is used on rats to study egocentric navigation (memory). In order to avoid any possibility of external cue use, the maze is constructed in IR-transparent Perspex to run the experiment in full darkness and...
