Technical Specifications

1. The system must provide a Software Copyright Certificate to ensure the authenticity of the software and the quality of after-sales service.
2. One computer can control multiple experimental cages, and each experimental cage can independently run different experimental programs.
3. The system is equipped with a standard soundproof box, which is used in conjunction with the 5-hole box. It adopts a double-door structure and can effectively block communication between animals.
4. The system must be equipped with a stimulus package including a nose-poke device, a light stimulation device, a sound stimulation device, a solid food dispenser, etc.
5. The system supports automatic recording of the animal's hole exploration times, hole exploration latency, correct response times, incorrect response times, premature response times, and omission times.
6. The solid food dispenser must support 3mm solid food pellets.
7. The system must be configured with 6 channels of input and 12 channels of output, enabling quick calling of various stimulation protocols (such as sound stimulation and light stimulation). It can be used for experiments combining optogenetics and electrophysiology simultaneously.
8. The software adopts a modular layout (including hardware environment configuration, task program programming, program operation, data analysis, and data overview), and has multiple functions such as programming, recording, and data analysis, with strong logical operability.
9. Functional modules include an optogenetics-electrophysiology expansion module, a stimulation module, a reward module, a task module, etc.
10. The system can display the status and data of each experimental box in real time, and has counting variables and timing variables.
11. The system has built-in multiple experimental paradigms that researchers can call quickly, and researchers can edit the experimental process freely according to their own experimental plans.
12. The system has a cumulative recorder function, which can switch the status of each unit and display the concentration of the rat's operant behavior in real time.
13. The system has a behavior recorder function, which can automatically record the sequence of behavior occurrences and experimental logs.
14. Three flavors of solid food pellets are available: original, banana, and chocolate.
