Radial arm maze set-up | |
 To assess working and reference memory in rodents, researchers frequently conduct the radial arm maze test. After the rodent completed a training procedure, the animal is placed in the center of the maze and visits to the arms are recorded. When used for the assessment of working memory, all arms are provided with a (food) reward and the animal should visit each arm only once. When used for assessing reference memory, only some of the arms are provided with a reward and the animal should only visit those ‘baited’ arms. Visits to an arm more than once and visits to the non-baited arms count as working memory and reference memory errors respectively. Our radial arm mazes, video equipment, and video tracking software allow you to automate the radial arm maze test. EthoVision 3.1 tracks your animal while it explores the center and arms of the maze and measures all pertinent parameters. The radial arm maze optionally comes with doors between the center and each arm that can be automatically opened and closed by EthoVision 3.1. Ultimately, our knowledgeable staff installs your system and answers all your questions during the training. | |
