The Circular Hole Board consists of a removable white round plexiglass plate elevated 50 cm above a table. The plate includes 12 holes that measure 5 cm in diameter and are placed at equal distances from each other. Each open hole serves as the exit that leads to the animal’s home cage via an S-shaped tunnel.
The Circular Hole Board is used to study spatial learning, memory, and spatial navigational strategies in rodents. It is an adaptation of the Hole Board apparatus used to assess rodents’ exploratory behaviors. The Circular Hole Board tests the ability of rodents to remember the correct open hole across trials.
Maze Engineers offer the Circular Hole Board.
