Technical description and warranty card

TS1501-RM3

Open field test for rats or mice, square, 50cm, grey

The open field test is a generally accepted paradigm for measurement of explorative and locomotor behavior in animals. It allows the responses to new and unfamiliar environments as well as habituation to the environment to be evaluated. Rats and mice tend to avoid brightly illuminated open spaces, so the open field environment acts as an anxiogenic stimulus and allows the measurement of anxiety-induced behaviors.

Materials

Floor and opaque walls: Plastic (PVC), matte grey
