Barnes Maze for Mice
from
Stoelting Co.
Description
Designed for Spatial Learning and Memory Tasks, the Barnes Maze task is similar to the Radial Arm and Morris Water mazes but without dietary restrictions and with less physical stress. Within the maze, animals are motivated to escape from the brightly lit, open platform to a small dark recessed chamber (escape box). During testing, the animal learns the spatial location of the escape box. The maze also includes false escape boxes which help to remove visual cues that might be observed from a distance or through an open hole. The Barnes Maze features a bright, circular white platform with 20 holes and stand and a "false" box option elevated to a convenient working height. The legs are removable allowing for flat, low impact storage when not in use. This maze is engineered to work seamlessly with the ANY-maze behavioral tracking software.
