IR Elevated Plus Maze for Mice
Description Of IR Elevated Plus Maze for Mice
Background
- The elevated plus maze is a widely used behavioral assay for rodents.
- EPM has been validated to assess the anti-anxiety effects of pharmacological agents and steroid hormones, and to define brain regions and mechanisms underlying anxiety-related behavior.
Durable, optimized for video tracking and rodent comfort
- High quality, reliable, sturdy and durable.
- Engineered by Ugo Basile to optimize video tracking success through our use of high contrast, non-reflective surfaces:
- Selection of high-contrast colors for optimal motion tracking: grey, white, black, (Ugo Basile) light blue or custom.
- Use of non-reflective, anti-glare surface. Reflections and glare are a common source of error in video tracking. We avoid this!
- Maze surface texture is selected for best rodent comfort – anti-slip and “warm” (rather than a smooth or cold surface that rodents find uncomfortable).
- 4 metal legs for device stability support the EPM.
- Easy to construct.
- Closed Arms can be easily detached for cleaning and storage.
