Noldus pellet dispenser
Description
The pellet dispenser is an indispensable tool in reinforced-based conditionings tasks. The Noldus pellet dispenser has been developed and tested in scope of the Neuro-Bsik consortium in conjunction with PhenoTyper home cages. The Noldus pellet dispenser delivers 20mg food pellets upon command and subsequently provides feedback when the pellet is dropped or when the pellet silo is empty. The Noldus pellet dispenser can be connected to the Noldus USB-IO box and is fully compatible with EthoVision XT’s new Trial & Hardware Control Module to execute the most sophisticated and interactive test protocols that involve the reinforcement of specific behaviors.
