Automated Shuttle Avoidance Test

Shuttle Avoidance Test, also call Active Avoidance/Passive Avoidance Test, is common used in neuroscience to assess different forms of fear-based conditioned avoidance learning in rodents.Active Avoidance Test (also called shuttle box test or automatic reflex conditioner), i.e. learning to predict the occurrence of an aversive event, based on the presentation of a specific stimulus, like sound, light and electricity. Passive Avoidance Test requires performing a specific behavior in order to escape or avoid the aversive stimulus, represented by mild foot shock.Science Shuttle Avoidance Box is a flexible system for both active and passive avoidance experiments. It comes with two independent grid floors that allow for flexible adverse stimuli. A top-loading door allows easy access inside the box. The chamber contains a sound generator and a visual stimulus (light) that functions separately for each compartment.
