Conditional Location Preference Video Analysis System

Conditional Location Preference Video Analysis System

Product Introduction

Xmaze CPPConditional Location Preference Video Analysis SystemIt is an experimental system that uses computer video recognition (or infrared photoelectric sensing) technology and computer communication technology for the study of psychological dependence. It can be applied to scientific research and teaching in multiple disciplines such as drug rehabilitation, pharmacology, toxicology, learning and memory/Alzheimer's disease, new drug development/screening/evaluation, preventive medicine, neurobiology, animal psychology, behavioral biology, etc.

The Conditional Place Preference (CPP) experiment is currently a classic experimental model for evaluating psychological dependence and an effective tool widely used to search for anti drug seeking behavior. This experiment places experimental animals (rats, mice) in the white observation area of the conditioned place preference box and provides them with psychoactive substances (such as * *). Then, the activity of the experimental animals in the black * * and white * * of the conditioned place preference box is observed, and there is a small gate between the white * *, black * *, and gray * * for the animals to freely shuttle. Animals will have a preference for the location of black and white domains under the action of reward effects every time they are in the administration area, and the degree of this preference is related to their psychological dependence.

The major feature of Xmaze CPP is that it can connect up to 24 sets of conditional location preference experimental boxes on one computer, saving the floor space of experimental equipment and greatly improving experimental efficiency and laboratory space utilization.

Product Features

1. Flexible configuration, * 1 set of experimental boxes for small configuration, * 24 sets of experimental boxes for large configuration for simultaneous experiments

2. By using video camera tracking technology, the experimental process has been automated, avoiding subjective errors introduced by manual counting and interference with experimental animals, and increasing the authenticity and reliability of experimental results

3. The structure of the experimental box is flexible, and the wall panels are installed in a sliding manner, allowing for the free change of clues

4. The box is sturdy and durable, using high-quality aluminum alloy frame and acrylic material, beautiful and generous, with reliable quality

5. Equipped with a movable urine tray for easy cleaning

6. The top of the box is equipped with white light and infrared light to balance the animals' preferences for each box

7. The system software can export experimental data in batches to Excel according to experimental projects and time periods. Users can use third-party software such as Excel, SPSS, SAS, etc. for in-depth data statistical analysis.

8. The system software can observe the real-time position of animals in the experimental box

9、The spatial resolution has reached 640x480 pixels, and the temporal resolution can reach up to 25 frames per second (commonly 15 frames per second). The measurement results have high accuracy.

Optional10. Using infrared optoelectronic technology and equipped with 66 pairs of sensors, it is not affected by external light and can be tested in a completely black environment. The tracking of animal behavior is stable and reliable, with a spatial resolution of up to 1cm

Optional11. Reserved electric fence base plate and interface, capable of receiving electrical stimulation, and can also be modified into shuttle experiment box, dark avoidance box, and black and white box, achieving "one box for multiple uses"
