Modal
- The Labyrinth core is composed of adjustable inserts
- 3 Layers: Top (Roof) Layer, Main (Arena) Layer, and Bottom (Mechanical) layer.
- Inserts allow modifications of the core into an automated version of over 20 modern behavioral apparatuses.
- This same machinery allows for entirely new types of automated tests, which is the true strength of the Labyrinth.
Designed for Translational Utility
Touch Sensitive
- The TILT feature allows all acrylic or interchangeable inserts to be touch sensitive, creating touchscreen like capabilities throughout the entire maze.
- This allows for operant conditioning mazes with simple exchangeable inserts
Active Safety
The Labyrinth continuously scans the interior arena to track animals, providing real-time feedback to help avoid injury to animals even for long term living. The Labyrinth is designed to minimize injury to rodents during protocols.
Novel Features
New technology begets new paradigms. See the entirely new things the Labyrinth can do.
-
- Pseudodoors allow simultaneously free choice and constrained choice mazes
-
- Pseudowalls are an entirely new possibility
-
- Hold sequences allow the maze time to reconfigure dynamically between or during trials
-
- Sequences allow quick turnaround between trials
-
- Operant Mazes
-
- Walls can become obstacles of any height
Replicate
Established methodologies. Labyrinth is a Behavior Core in one machine
De Novo Methodologies
Establish novel preclinical science standards
Novel Object Recognition: Replicate known tests validated in the literature
Inspired by the literature
Run complex, automated versions of the classic tests of the 1900’s
New Paradigms
Entirely new paradigms of prior performance driven conditional mazes

Intelligent Testing
With the Crete Frame, housing units directly attach to the Labyrinth. This allows for entirely automated self sufficient testing. The Crete Device knows when to release the next rodent into the maze, whether that is set as randomized or a specific order of your choosing.
Automated mouse interactions.
Multipurpose Intellitent Neuroscience Apparatus
Intelligent light cues, food reward, shock delivery
Intertrial consistency with no odor cues
Disinfecting Intelligent Neuroscience Agent
Feces and urine automated removal

Frequently Asked Questions
For the air compressor, is that included, or that is a separate component we need to purchase?
It is a separate component and it can be purchased if needed. Contact us for more information.
I believe the maze has the capability to be used with lids, electrified floor inserts, etc. Where can I find those accessories/prices?
Electrified floor inserts can be added. Contact us for more information.
Is it possible to use IR sensors with the apparatus to track rearing, and if so, where can I find the IR sensor information?
Video tracking software such as ANY-Maze and Ethovision work with the Labyrinth system.
