A versatile tool designed for assessing associative learning in neuroscience, equipped with advanced features for precise and reliable results.
Key Metrics for Neuroscience Research
Understanding Associative Learning and Behavioral Responses
The Fear Conditioning Chamber delivers essential insights into associative learning by measuring key metrics such as freezing duration, response to auditory cues, and context-based behavior. These metrics are invaluable for studying the effects of pharmacological treatments, brain lesions, and cognitive disorders in rodent models.
No. of Freezes
Tracks the duration spent in each sector, indicating spatial preference and avoidance learning efficiency.
Duration of freezing
Counts entries into the shock zone, reflecting spatial memory and the ability to avoid the prohibited area.
Latency to Freeze
Measures the time before the first entry into the shock zone, showing initial avoidance performance.
Activity
Measures the time before the first entry into the shock zone, showing initial avoidance performance.
Contextual vs. Cued Fear Responses:
Contextual Fear
Freezing in the environment where the CS-US pairing occurred.
Cued Fear
Freezing in response to the CS alone, typically in a novel context..
Precise Associative Learning Assessment
Evaluate freezing behavior and responses to conditioned stimuli with unparalleled precision.
Advanced Cued and Contextual Conditioning
Easily alternate between contextual and cued fear conditioning with adaptable chamber settings.
Enhanced Research Versatility
Supports experiments on trace, delay, and backward conditioning for a comprehensive analysis of associative learning.
Seamless Software Integration
Fully compatible with ConductVision, EthoVision XT, and ANY-Maze for automated tracking and analysis.
Automated Fear Conditioning Analysis
