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

The Automated Y Maze delivers precise metrics to evaluate cognitive function, memory, and exploratory behavior in animal models.

 

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.

Safe and Efficient Design

Ideal for tethered experiments, these doors ensure animal safety and minimize stress during trials.

Advanced Software Integration

Compatible with Conductor, ConductVision, and ConductMaze software for system management and video tracking.

Minimized Noise for Accurate Results

Operates at <10db, reducing startle responses and promoting natural exploration.

Strength and Durability

Constructed with lightweight aluminum and durable acrylic for long-term use and easy maintenance.

Optical Detection System

Provides 24/7, 99.9% accurate optical detection with configurable responses for precise data collection.

 

Comprehensive Experiment Reporting

Automatically generates detailed metrics and visual reports for easy interpretation and comparison.
