Automated Conditioned Place-Preference Apparatus
from
Stoelting Co.
Description
The Conditioned Place Preference (CPP) Apparatus is used in a wide variety of paradigms for environmental and spatial conditioning. Most commonly it is used in the assessment of the rewarding property of drugs (or other natural reinforcers) or to identify the neuronal basis of reinforcement expression. Typically, a drug is injected, and the animal is placed in a test chamber with distinctive environmental cues. This procedure is repeated for several days.
ANY-box, Stoelting’s Multi-Configuration Behavior Apparatus, is a completely automated system designed to make behavioral tracking convenient, affordable and without compromising on features. At the heart of ANY-box is the critically acclaimed ANY-maze software, coupled to Stoelting’s new ANY-maze interface device. This combination of core components allows you to automate as many as eight ANY-boxes for simultaneous testing. The system is comprised of a versatile base, fitted with an positionable camera and IR array. This base connects to the ANY-maze interface (AMi) and a version of the ANY-maze software which allows for full automation of tests and mazes. A full line of replaceable inserts are available to work with the interface, allowing for a diverse range of automated testing applications.
