Instrument Name：Elevated Plus Maze System


Model:MED-ELVM-1M/MED-SYST-8-V/SOF-700RA-3


Instrument Manufacturer：MED/USA


Main functions：
It is an experimental method for evaluating the anxiety response of rodents. Compared with anxiety behavioral tests for mice induced by injurious stimuli (e.g., electrical stimulation, noise stimulation, dietary deprivation, and exposure to predator odors, etc.), this experiment is simple to perform and can reflect the conditioned response of the mice intuitively.


Main specifications and technical indicators：
The elevated cross maze is mainly composed of two open arms and two closed arms, which are perpendicular to each other in a cross, and the instrument is equipped with a special monitoring camera for animal behavior experiments, and the animal behavior analysis software is connected to the computer through the acquisition card. The elevated cross maze apparatus distinguishes between mice and rats, the mice arm width is 5cm, the arm length is 35cm, the height of the closed arm is 15cm, and the height of the maze from the ground is about 40-55cm.
