Zero Maze, Noldus Information Technology BV. (CAT#: STEM-LEAR-0677-YJL)

Zero Maze, model STEM-LEAR-0677-YJL is manufactured by Noldus Information Technology BV.
The zero maze is used to test anxiety- and exploration-related behaviors in rats and mice. The elevated zero maze is very similar to the elevated plus maze, but lacks a center square. This removes any ambiguity in the interpretation of the time spent in the maze, but also takes away the availability of an often used starting point during the test. Again, the differences in time spent in the open and closed sections are measured and used as indication of anxiety versus exploration.
This license can also be used for the video tracking and automation of other behavioral tests.
Later, variables can be coupled with these zones, giving you parameters such as percentage of time spent in open quadrants, latency to first open section entry, and more.
EthoVision XT detects the center point, tail base, and nose point of your rat or mouse, allowing for an accurate measurement of position that enables you to discriminate between the subject only poking its nose around the corner or moving its entire body into one of the open sections of the zero maze.

Automatically detect behaviors
Because EthoVision XT can detect multiple body points, you can automatically detect behaviors such as body elongation – a characteristic of the stretch-attend posture that is often considered a response to an environment that incites both fear/anxiousness and curiosity.
