Cross maze

The aquatic cross maze is a multifunctional maze for zebrafish learning and memory testing, but also allows for other tests, such as social preference. This is because you can adjust the maze any way you want with several inserts. It can also be fitted with colored sleeves for color discrimination learning. Of course, the aquatic cross maze is perfectly suited for video tracking your zebrafish with EthoVision XT.

T-maze testing

The cross maze is excellent for T-maze testing or similar discriminative learning tasks. The fish learn to select a certain zone to swim to based on natural preference for the environment, and discrimination can be based on the colored sleeves you use, which are included with the maze. Taught to expect a certain reward, fish will normally learn this quite easily.

Zebrafish and learning paradigms

Zebrafish have become an important animal model for studying neurodegenerative diseases. In validation of these models, both pathologically and behaviorally, many standardized paradigms have been translated from rodent models to zebrafish.

Tools for zebrafish research

We have a wide range of tools for all kinds of behavioral tests for zebrafish. From software to measure activity, heartbeat, and flow in embryos and larvae, to video tracking the movement of adults in several learning, anxiety, or social behavior paradigms.

Zebrafish are increasingly swimming into the view of large-scale drug screening projects. Behavioral screens can be used as a first-line detection tool for new drug effects, and their popularity continues to grow.

Tracking zebrafish activity to study a key element in circadian rhythmicity

Zebrafish are a popular model of choice for many researchers, including chronobiologists. That’s because zebrafish rapidly develop their ‘inner clock’ (circadian system) – and because this system is highly light-entrainable.
