Y-Maze

The Y-Maze is a quick way to evaluate spatial working memory.  It  allows animals to select between two arms based on memory or reward. Because the Y-Maze’s arms have a gradual turn, animals understand the layout more quickly than a T-Maze, decreasing learning time. San Diego Instruments (SDI) also provides a MOUSE water tight Y Maze. Including removable doors, and a variety of additional color options, SDI’s Y-Maze adjusts to fit a wide range of experiments. San Diego Instrument’s (SDI) Y-Maze is uniquely designed to be easy to use and clean as well as highly versatile.
