Ideal for your spatial learning tests, SDI’s Barnes Maze allows you to track how your subjects learn the spatial location of an intended target. The Barnes Maze is ideally suited for use with the SDI ANY-maze video tracking system.
Designed to test both rats and mice, the Barnes Maze is modeled after the circular maze invented by Carol Barnes of the University of Arizona. The barnes maze test is predicated on the animal wanting to get out of the bright light and into a dark burrow(target box).
