The elevated Zero-Maze is a modification of the Elevated Plus-Maze which incorporates both traditional and novel ethological measures in the analysis of anxiety. The design comprises an elevated circular platform with two opposite enclosed quadrants and two open. This removes any ambiguity in interpretation of time spent on the central square of the traditional “plus” design, and allowing uninterrupted exploration. 

The Zero-Maze includes infrared transparent inner walls which allow a single camera to see the animal in all parts of the maze. This does require an infrared illuminator and an infrared sensitive camera and lens (all cameras and lenses that we supply are IR sensitive)

Additional Features

• 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.
• Height adjustable Rim or Lip on the open arms to minimize falls and to provide optional thigmotactic cues.
• Walls fit solidly in slotted base, but lift off for easy cleaning.
• Walls and Base are non reflective for better tracking.
• Textured, no-slip floor reduces reflections and allows animals to confidently move about the maze
• Removable walls and legs mean the maze can be stored flat when not in used.
• Ideal for use with ANY-maze.
