Standard Rat 5/9 Hole Test Chamber for Physiological Research Instrumentation

---The Standard Rat 5/9 Hole Test Chamber is an operant behavioral testing system designed primarily for serial 5-choice reaction time and attention-related experiments. It provides controlled visual and auditory stimuli, nose-poke detection, reinforcement delivery and activity monitoring for structured behavioral research. Manufactured by Atico Export with quality-focused production and attention to engineering specifications for physiological research, experimental studies and scientific training.

• Novel variation on the conventional operant chamber, primarily used for the serial 5-choice reaction time task
• Designed for studying sustained and selective attention
• Nose-poke response is rapidly trained and easier for the animal to execute than a lever-press
• Nine response locations allow the study of response sequencing
• Reaction times can be separated from movement times
• Supports lateralisation studies using brief peripheral stimuli
• Supports discrimination studies by varying stimulus brightness and position
• Attention can be tested using distracting lights or noises
• Suitable for operant-based behavioral and psychological research
