Adapt-A-Maze: An Open Source Adaptable and Automated Rodent Behavior Maze System Mazes are a fundamental and widespread tool in behavior and systems neuroscience research in rodents, especially in spatial navigation and spatial memory investigations in freely behaving animals. How...

A labor of love, we've put the final touches on our Adapt-A-Maze system and it's ready for the world! Open source, modular, automated, and ready to use (or modify)! All for about a third the cost of commercially available mazes.

Let me tell you about its features
