Description:
This system contains four chambers for active or passive avoidance, as well as many learned helplessness paradigms. By using four independent photobeams on each side of the chamber, an excellent measurement of movement activity is obtained. The chamber is divided into two sections by a removable auto guillotine door. This package also includes an MDF sound attenuating cubicle to enclose the chamber and prevent distractions during testing. Each chamber comes equipped with a stimulus light and a sonalert tone generator on each side. The grid floor is equipped with a patented quick disconnect harness which allows aversive stimulation to be delivered to either side of the chamber floor, at different times. This system also includes aversive stimulation controllers and an opaque cover. Four animals could be tested simultaneity.
