Automated Y Maze
A Key Tool for Assessing Cognitive and Behavioral Research
The Automated Y Maze is an advanced apparatus designed for studying spatial memory, cognitive function, and exploratory behavior. It allows for seamless trials with automated tracking and minimal human intervention, supporting research in spontaneous and rewarded alternation tasks.
Key Results Metrics
Analyzing Cognitive Behavior and Spatial Navigation
Test Duration
Tracks total time spent in the maze during trials.
Time in each arm
Measures time spent in each arm to assess spatial preference.
Spontaneous alterations
Records natural alternation between arms, indicating working memory.
Total distance travelled
Monitors movement patterns for exploration analysis.
Number of entries into each arm
Counts total arm entries to evaluate activity levels.
Sequential arm entries
Tracks patterns of consecutive entries for spatial memory assessment.
Working memory errors
Identifies repeated entries into previously visited arms.
Reference memory errors
Detects incorrect entries into prohibited or unvisited arms.
