Instrument Introduction

The shuttle box is used to detect behaviors such as active avoidance and passive avoidance in mice. Mice can learn to avoid aversive stimuli, which belongs to the classic combined conditioning learning. Each test chamber is divided into left and right sides, and the position of the animals is detected by infrared detectors. The test chamber is equipped with speakers, signal lights and electric shockers. Users can set up customized experimental procedures according to their experimental requirements.
