The elevated Zero-Maze is a modification of the Elevated Plus-Maze which incorporates both traditional and novel ethological measures in the analysis of anxiety. The design comprises an elevated circular platform with two opposite enclosed quadrants and two open. This removes any ambiguity in interpretation of time spent on the central square of the traditional “plus” design, and allowing uninterrupted exploration. 

The Zero-Maze includes infrared transparent inner walls which allow a single camera to see the animal in all parts of the maze. This does require an infrared illuminator and an infrared sensitive camera and lens (all cameras and lenses that we supply are IR sensitive)

Additional Features

• Available for rat or mouse.
• Walls fit solidly in slotted base, but lift off for easy cleaning.
• Grey, non reflective base plate.
• The adjustable 'rim' on the open arms allow for thigmotactic cues
• Removable walls and legs mean the maze can be stored flat when not in used.
• Ideal for use with ANY-maze.
