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. A fully automated version of this maze, part of the ANY-box suite of apparatus, is also available on our website. This maze is engineered to work seamlessly with the ANY-maze behavioral tracking software. For more information, including images of the apparatus, please see our website.
