Application
In behavioral science, a T-maze is a simple maze used in animal cognition experiments, shaped like the letter T, providing the subject, typically a rodent, with a straightforward choice.
T-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 this custom model, the device is provided with return arms on both stems of the T: doors are controlled automatically.
