Description |
---|---|---|
elevated linear track | linear | Linear track, 250 cm × 7 cm. |
elevated linear track | linearOne | Linear track (170 cm × 6.2 cm, with 22 cm × 22 cm end platforms) that
was shortened to 79 or 125 cm in some trials 23, 24 (Usually shortened but sometimes also lengthened). The same linear track was used in linearOne and linearTwo but at different locations in the same recording room. The center of the track was at the same position for linearOne and linearTwo, but the track was at fixed 36.9 degree angles from each other, corresponding to the diagonals of the 480 × 640 pixel camera. |
elevated linear track | linearTwo | Exactly the same as linearOne but the linear track was at different locations
in the same recording room. See linearOne. |
open field | bigSquare | 180 cm × 180 cm. |
open field | bigSquarePlus | 180 cm × 180 cm square open field, divided by plus shaped walls put in the
center of the field. |
open field | midSquare | 120 cm × 120 cm. |
open field | Open | 100 cm × 200 cm |

running task |
wheel | Operant wheel running task, See Mizuseki et al., 2009 21. |
alternation task in
T-maze |
Mwheel | Alternation task in T-maze (100 cm × 120 cm) with wheel running delay. See
Pastalkova et al., 2008 6 |
alternation task in
T-maze |
Tmaze | Alternation task in T-maze, the same as Mwheel but without delay period.
There were 2.78 camera pixels/cm, which converts to 22.24 units/cm for the .whl files (8x compression of pixels). |
elevated plus maze | plus | Plus maze. 100 cm × 100 cm. |
zigzag maze | Zigzag | 100 cm × 200 cm zigzag maze. See Royer et al., 2010 46. |
wheel-running in
home cage |
wheel_home | Wheel running in home cage with free access to a wheel with no
reinforcement. |
sleep | sleep | Sleeping in home cage. |
