NEU-08-CON Conducta
Conducta allows the investigation of the behavioral and activity patterns of small laboratory animals. Conducta is a device to record motor activity of laboratory rodents. Its innovative feature is that it detects movements by high-density arrays of infrared diodes that give a very fine spatial resolution. This device is a suitable for studying motor patterns, spatial movement distributions, special movements (e.g. jumping), etc. in 3 dimensions with considerable resolution. Variables recorded by the Conducta are ambulation (walking, running), local movements, rearing, jumping and immobility. The program records the number and total time of each variable and calculates the mean time of each element too. For ambulation the mean velocity is also calculated. In addition, length and number of the ‘rushes’ are automatically calculated. As an opinion, an electrical stimulation device can be added (for extra cost) by which foot- shocks can be delivered through a metal grid. This way behavioral changes evoked by the shock could be directly and automatically recorded. Short- and long-term consequences of a shock can be tracked, stimulus thresholds can be determined, learned helplessness, place-preference and place-avoidance can be studied. This extended device is also suitable to study changes of pain-threshold and pain-tolerance. Optional infrared camera with picture processing computer system for continuous monitoring and recording of animal activity is available.
