Meet the Labyrinth

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

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.
