OPEN FIELD

for motor performance and anxiety
ANXIETY - LEARNING AND MEMORY - LOCOMOTOR ACTIVITY AND EXPLORATION - SOCIAL INTERACTION

Open-field experiments allow the evaluation of animal’s basal activity and its evolution, in response to novelty or anxiogenic environment, and in response to pharmacological treatment, lesion or genetic modification.

Panlab proposes square open-fields available for rats and mice. The arena is made of durable material which has the advantage to be non-absorbent to the odours and easy to clean. The arena is surrounded by high walls and is available in different non reflective colours for video-tracking purposes. The system is entirely demountable for enabling storage in the minimum space. The floor can be divided into equal squares under request for the direct counting of animal activity.

Parameters Measured
  • Locomotor activity (SMART and Smart JUNIOR)
  • Rearing (SMART)
  • Permanence time and entries into the center (SMART and Smart JUNIOR)
  • Permanence time and entries close to the walls (SMART and Smart JUNIOR)
  • And many other parameters given by the video-tracking systems...
