ConductVision — Advanced Rodent Module
Expand your ConductVision setup with 14 specialty behavioral paradigms for advanced rodent research. From markerless social interaction tracking to automated gait analysis, these paradigms push beyond standard maze protocols into complex behavioral phenotyping.
Requires ConductVision Rodent Maze Package (sold separately).
Included Paradigms
| Paradigm | Key Metrics |
|---|---|
| Active Place Avoidance | Shock zone entries, maximum time avoided, path efficiency |
| Active/Passive Avoidance Shuttle Box | Avoidance responses, escape latency, inter-trial crossings |
| Automated Y/T-Mazes | Automated arm entry detection, alternation sequences, perseveration index |
| Automated CPP | Automated place preference scoring, chamber time, transition counts |
| Empathy Assay | Proximity to distressed subject, social approach, freezing duration |
| Gait Analysis | Stride length, stride width, paw print overlap, cadence, regularity index |
| Fear Conditioning Chamber | Freezing %, freezing bouts, latency to freeze, contextual vs. cued responses |
| Learned Helplessness | Escape failures, escape latency, response ratio |
| Operant Conditioning | Lever presses, reward retrieval latency, breakpoint, progressive ratio |
| Social Interaction Test (Markerless) | 11 key body points per subject — no tags or markers needed. Proximity, following, anogenital investigation, social bout duration |
| Step Down Apparatus | Step-down latency, retention time, memory index |
| Repeated Acquisition & Performance Chamber | Correct/incorrect responses, acquisition rate, performance stability |
| Visual Looming | Escape response latency, freezing duration, shelter-seeking time |
| Custom Paradigm | Request a custom maze or paradigm — contact us |
Highlights
- Markerless social interaction — tracks 11 body points per animal without tags, paint, or RFID
- Automated gait analysis — quantify locomotor deficits in neurodegeneration and injury models
- Fear conditioning — precise freezing detection for anxiety and PTSD research
- All at 30+ fps — same high-speed, multi-point tracking as the base package
- Batch processing — queue entire experiment sessions for automated analysis
What’s Included
- All 14 specialty paradigms (13 pre-configured + custom request)
- Free software updates as new paradigms are added
- 24/7 online support

| Feature | This Product | Typical Alternative | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protocol Breadth | Advanced rodent assays inside the ConductVision family | Labs often split gait, social, and conditioning work across separate tools | |
| Markerless Social Support | Video-based interaction analysis without visible markers | Many workflows still depend on manual annotation or extra tagging | |
| Shared Workflow | Uses the same ConductVision environment as the base package | Different tools create fragmented training and exports |
This module is positioned for labs that need more than baseline maze tracking and want those advanced assays inside the same ConductVision workflow.
Practical Tips
Confirm the base ConductVision package is installed and licensed before enabling the module.
Why: This product is intended as an add-on, not a replacement environment.
Recalibrate zones and scale whenever you move between gait, conditioning, and chamber-based assays.
Why: Advanced protocols usually need tighter event definitions than simple locomotor tracking.
Pilot one representative session per assay before running the full cohort.
Why: That helps confirm the preset matches the intended behavioral readout.
Keep separate presets for each chamber or task family.
Why: It reduces mistakes in event logic and export interpretation.

Background reading relevant to this product:
Do I need the base ConductVision package first?
Yes. The Advanced Rodent Module is intended as an add-on within the ConductVision ecosystem.
Can it support both social and conditioning assays?
Yes. The module is positioned for specialty rodent workflows including gait, social interaction, conditioning, and avoidance-style tasks.
How should I validate a new assay?
Pilot one recording, compare the detected events with manual expectations, and lock the preset before processing the full cohort.
What is the main advantage over manual scoring?
It helps standardize event extraction and cohort processing so advanced assays are less dependent on reviewer-by-reviewer differences.
