Thermal Place Preference (TPP Test) for Mice & Rats
Code 35250 / 35260UB
The Y-Maze is widely used to measure preference and spatial memory and learning tasks in laboratory animals. Animals learn to alternate between arms based on their memory of the previously visited arms or choose an arm based on the reward presented. The simple Y-shape design provides a single choice point with only two alternatives.

Application
In behavioral science, a Y-maze (or the variant T-maze) is a simple maze used in animal cognition experiments. It is shaped like the letter Y (or T), providing the subject, typically a rodent, with a straightforward choice. Y-mazes are used to study how the rodents function with memory and spatial learning through applying various stimuli. The different tasks, such as left-right discrimination and forced alternation, are mainly used with rodents to test reference and working memory.
In a range of various mazes of differing sizes and many shapes, the T-maze is one of the most simple, consisting of just two turns - right or left. The maze is only able to be altered by blocking one of the two paths.
