Y-Maze: Unraveling Rodent Spatial Learning and Memory
Purpose of the Y-Maze
The Y-Maze plays a pivotal role in behavioral research, providing researchers with the means to delve into spatial learning and working memory in rodents. Its applications include:
- Automatic calculation and analysis of parameters associated with learning and memory, such as the time taken by rodents to reach the rewarded arm.
- Detailed examination of behaviors concerning each arm, including the number of entries into each arm.
Exploring VJ Instruments’ Y-Maze
VJ Instruments’ Y-Maze is a product of precision, constructed using top-tier materials to ensure unwavering reliability and consistent results. The maze comprises three identical arms arranged at 120-degree intervals, forming an equilateral triangular center. Moreover, the Y-Maze is customizable in terms of color, enabling it to align with the specific research requirements of users.
Key Features of VJ Instruments’ Y-Maze:
- Material: High-quality construction ensures reliability and consistency.
- Customization: Available in a range of colors to match individual preferences.
- Comprehensive Package: The Y-Maze is part of a complete package, inclusive of a Licensed MazeMaster video tracking software, a camera, cables, IR lights, light fixtures, and a PC. This package can be used for experiments in various other mazes produced by VJ Instruments, including the T-Maze, Radial-Maze, Morris Water Maze, Barnes Maze, Elevated Zero Maze, Open Field Maze, and more.
Tracking in the Y-Maze
VJ Instruments offers a comprehensive tracking solution to researchers conducting experiments within the Y-Maze. The tracking process consists of the following steps:
- Placement: Rodents are positioned at the center of the maze.
- Monitoring: A MazeMaster video tracking application, combined with a camera fixed directly above the maze, continuously monitors the rodents’ movements.
- Data Collection: The MazeMaster software records crucial parameters, including the number of entries into each arm, the distance traveled, and the time spent in each arm.
- Trajectory Analysis: The MazeMaster software provides a detailed trajectory of the rodents’ movements, empowering researchers to analyze their behavior effectively.
