The Double Y Angulated Maze is a specialized apparatus featuring two Y-shaped mazes connected at the ends of each tail. This setup was utilized in a study by David Bett et al. (2012) to investigate the role of the hippocampus in vicarious trial-and-errors (VTEs) during spatial memory tasks and simple visual discrimination (VD) tasks.
Constructed from acrylic, the Y-maze includes a start box, two choice boxes, and four goal boxes, all interconnected by alleyways. Each box has an octagonal shape.
Prior to maze training, rats were placed on a food deprivation schedule and handled for 5 minutes each day over three days. They were then trained to navigate from the start area to locate food rewards in one of the four goal boxes.
MazeEngineers provides the Double Y-maze for use with both mice and rats, with options for custom coloring and other modifications available upon request.
MazeEngineers offers custom-built behavioral mazes at no extra costādesigned to fit your exact research needs. Eliminate reproducibility issues from poor sizing or lingering scent cues with precision-engineered, modular, and smart mazes that adapt in real time to animal behavior. Publish new protocols, run adaptive experiments, and push the boundaries of behavioral science.
The Double Y Angulated Maze consists of two Y mazes joined at the end of each tail. It was used in a study to test whether the hippocampus is essential for vicarious trial-and-error (VTEs) in a spatial memory task and in simple visual discrimination (VD) task David Bett et al.Ā (2012).
The Y-maze was constructed of acrylic and comprised a start box, two choice boxes, and four-goal boxes, connected with alleyways. Each of the boxes was octagonal.
Rats were first started on a food deprivation schedule and handled for 5 min/day for 3 days prior to initial maze training. Then rats were trained to run from the start area on the maze and find the location of food rewards in one of the four-goal boxes.
Mazeengineers offers the Double Y-maze for both mice and rats. Custom coloring and customization are available upon request.
