Automated Elevated Plus Maze System:

Our new mazes have higher resolution and specially created measures which enhance the ability to quantify anxiety. For example, with beams mounted on the edge of the open arms we capture the subject hanging it’s head over the edge. Going out on the cliff is one thing, hanging over the edge of it is another. And the high resolution can separate arms into multiple zones. These multiple zones report how far an animal retreats from the intersection into closed arms and how far it dares into the open arms. A truly new ability in quantifying the animals emotionality .

As with all our activity systems, the plus maze systems have been designed with advanced features and ease of use in mind. All PhotoBeams are mounted on circuit boards for easy replacement and the system uses the Windows NT/2000 compatible MotorMonitor software common throughout our activity line.

MotorMonitor’s post analysis software provides greater flexibility in analyzing and re-analyzing data based on different parameters. The new measure Pokes Into Zone was specially designed for plus mazes; it differentiates between an animals complete entry into a zone and when it conducts only a small head poke into a zone. The advanced diagnostics use an exclusive 4-level test which runs automatically before each session. Each maze operates through a single cable making for an exceptionally clean connection setup by eliminating the "rats nest" of cables of the past. Because of it’s unique design, it is possible to run 2 or more mazes simultaneously, thereby increasing throughput!

"High density beams provide higher quality measures from our all new plus mazes!"
