The Y Maze is used to assess exploratory behavior and/or spatial recognition of rodents. Three identical, equidistant arms, designed with gradual turns, promote exploration of the apparatus. Barrier Blocks (optional) can be used to emply recognition or reversal paradigms.

Go here for details in using ANY-maze to automate tests in the Y-maze.

Note: The Y-maze is similar to the T-maze, but its three identical arms and gradual turns decrease learning time when compared to the sharp turns of the T-maze.

Mazes Designed with Video Tracking in Mind

  • Available for rat or mouse.
  • Available in 2 colors - Light or Dark Grey.  Choose the light-gray maze for dark animals or the dark-gray maze for light animals. Doing so will maximize the contrast between the animal and the background optimizing tracking. 
  • Walls and Base are Non reflective for better tracking.
  • Walls fit solidly in slotted base, but lift off for easy cleaning.
  • Textured, no-slip floor reduces reflections and allows animals to confidently move about the maze

All of our mazes are easily automated with Stoelting's ANY-maze Video Tracking Software
