| 9-Hole
Box for Rat and Mouse |
 |
| Our
well established rat 9-hole box (cited in over 60 published papers)
has now been further developed and refined to make it suitable for
mouse operant studies. It has also been redesigned to be easily
maintained and cleaned.
The mouse
9-hole box is the only mouse operant chamber with associated
published data for an attentional task for mice. |
| The
task – the serial 5-choice
reaction time task (also available in monkey CANTAB) - is a test of
sustained and selective attention, which has been well characterized
in the rat and has shown clinical validity in a variety of settings,
including attentional deficits in Alzheimer's disease patients.
The serial 5-choice
reaction time task forms the first in what is expected to be a
growing set of operant based tests in mice, allowing the
exploitation of molecular genetics methods in unraveling the genetic
contribution to complex psychological and behavioral processes. |

Model 80209-45 - 45mg Pellet Dispenser w/ Stand
This 45mg Pellet Dispenser‚ uses the
latest design features to provide consistent and reliable pellet
delivery. It can easily be converted to other pellet sizes‚ and
made even more reliable with an optional pellet drop detector.
It is supplied with a short length of tubing for easy connection
to a variety of receptacle or reward areas. The support stand
or base footprint measures approximately 3.8" x 4.7".‚ The
dispenser has been designed and extensively tested for use with
most popular brands and sizes of food pellets. The dispenser is
supplied with a selector disk suitable for 45mg pellets as
standard, alternative disks suitable for 14, 20 and 190mg
pellets are available.

80110 Press Bar
Stainless
steel construction (.032" thick) ensures long-lasting reliable
operation. A micro switch is used to sense a lever press. The
force required to move the bar is factory calibrated to be less
than 10gm and is field adjustable via counterbalance washers
located on the back. Movement required to activate the lever
switch is 3mm. |
 |
| Model
80201 Liquid Dispenser This
drop-type liquid dispenser holds up to 65cc of liquid in a graduated,
calibrated closed reservoir. The amount of liquid dispensed
can be easily adjusted via the control box, and works off of
a standard 28V DC power source. Dimensions: 4"x2"x1.5" |
 |
| |
| Model
80115 Retractable Lever
The
retractable lever features a smooth running motor to ensure
quiet, reliable extension and retraction of the lever. Control
of the lever extension and retraction is now accomplished with
one output line. The lever activation is monitored with one
input line. This simplifies the wiring by reducing the number
of external connections. |
|
| Model
80111 Omnidirectional Lever
Mounted
to the top of the cage, this lever records responses via rod
deflection in any direction. The stainless steel rod is 4.75"
in length and is .25" in diameter.

58011A Photocell Kit This
infrared system uses a separate source and receiver with a range
of up to 12’. A five-way binding post provides connection
to the device. An external DC power source between 10 and 30V
is needed for the device. The output can be configured as either
a normally open or closed switch. The open collector transistor
can switch up to 30VDC at 100mA max.

82404ss Master Shocker with Scrambler This
model features either a direct 0 to 5mA output, or a silent
neon scrambled constant 0 to 1mA with zero crossover. Line voltage
required is 105/125VAC and current regulation is 3 percent for
a 50kOhm change in subject resistance. The voltage regulator
limiter prevents outputs from rising above 1600V at no load.
