Learning Memory & Attention Habitest Shuttle Box All shuttle cages include a drop pan, shock floor, two photocell sensor pairs and one barrier/doorway. Blank modules are needed and should be ordered separately to fill the bays of the cage walls. Passive Avoidance boxes are identical to the shuttle boxes, except have a permanently blacked-out left compartment. See page 62 for more information on our Passive Avoidance Cages.

Each cage accepts our stimulus-response modules of the appropriate size (mouse or rat). The rat cage also accepts runways, so it may be joined to hubs and other cages in the same manner as the rat operant test cages and hubs. The module bays, three in each compartment, each accept 8 module height units; the same as our standard test cages. Animal transit and position are sensed and reported by a photocell sensor system. Users may select automatic shock routing to simplify programming or operate the shock transfer relays from the environmental connection board. Modular in design, these shuttle cages expand beyond active and passive avoidance applications, making our system optimally versatile. Adding in stimuli, feeders and response sensors makes the cage useful for many other applications, such as place preference or other operant studies. Optional guillotine doors can easily replace the open door barrier that comes with the cage. The door is opened and remains so for the duration of a 28 volt signal that triggers its opening. An operating mechanism de-energizes when the signal terminates, allowing the door to close. Thus, only the weight of the thin metal door bears down, very important should there be an animal that does not clear the door path below. The cage floors and drop pans are easily removed with just a snap and slide for cleaning convenience. A connector on each end of the grid floor circuit board disconnects the shock cable from the shocker so that the floor may be removed and replaced in seconds.
