Conditioned Place Preference (CPP)

In the Conditioned Place Preference protocol, animals (rats or mice) receive psychotropic or rewarding drug administration (e.g., morphine) within a specific chamber. Through repeated conditioning, rodents develop a measurable place preference driven by the drug’s reward value. Our CPP box provides a controlled, automated, and reproducible environment where researchers can precisely track chamber preference, locomotor activity, and reward-associated learning.
The integrated IR thermal imaging tracking module delivers accurate multi-chamber tracking, while the smart automatic door system minimizes human interference—ensuring high-quality behavioral data for advanced neuroscience and addiction research.
