Behavioral apparatus, organized around the work.
Use this as the scientific map of ConductScience: apparatus families, paradigms, scored endpoints, species constraints, disease models, and methods that help a lab choose the right equipment path.
What belongs under /science
/science is the broad ConductScience library for scientific choices before a buyer enters a specific product, software, or support workflow. It should organize the decision around concepts, apparatus, paradigms, endpoints, species, models, and methods.
Concepts Library
Scientific terminology, apparatus vocabulary, scoring language, and design concepts.
Apparatus Library
Maze geometry, chamber design, species fit, measured behaviors, and product families.
Paradigm Library
Anxiety, learning, memory, pain, social behavior, locomotion, and reinforcement tasks.
Endpoint Library
Scored measures, calculation tools, quality checks, and analysis-ready outputs.
Species Library
Rodent, zebrafish, drosophila, aquatic, livestock, and facility-specific constraints.
Disease Model Guides
Model selection, phenotype windows, behavioral batteries, and equipment bridges.
Methods and Protocols
Technique guides, protocol references, troubleshooting, and workflow context.
Apparatus libraries for the full behavioral suite
Each library should read like a scientific buying map, not a thin category page. It should explain what the apparatus is for, what it measures, what design details matter, and where adjacent tools or products fit.
Maze and Arena Systems
Morris water maze, Barnes maze, Y maze, T maze, radial arm maze, open field.
Motor and Activity Apparatus
Rotarod, treadmill, activity wheel, balance beam, horizontal ladder, gait walkway.
Social Behavior Chambers
Three-chamber sociability, social novelty, resident intruder, group interaction arenas.
Fear, Avoidance, and Startle
Fear conditioning, shuttle box, step-down avoidance, acoustic startle, PPI.
Zebrafish and Aquatic Behavior
Novel tank, light/dark preference, larvae tracking, shoaling, startle, swim tunnel.
Surgery and Neural Interface Prep
Stereotaxic frames, anesthesia, cannulae, optogenetics, photometry, and implants.
Keep separate projects separate.
/science is the cross-suite scientific library. Product-specific acquisition, automation, support, and graph-discovery surfaces can be linked when useful, but they should not be the primary sections here.
Software workflows
Acquisition, tracking, scoring, and analysis stay in the software product surfaces.
Executable schedules
Automated protocol runners and task files stay with the automation product surface.
Post-purchase support
Warranty, installation, repair, and service plans stay in the support surface.
Funding graph
Investigators, institutions, grants, and research discovery stay in the dex surface.
