Nosepoke with Tri-Color Light on Standard Modular Panel

The Lafayette Instrument Company Nosepokes are used for the conditioning of animals with computer controlled operant systems using ABET, ABET II or other computer interface and software. They are designed for reliable photocell detection when a subject blocks the infrared beam in the Nosepoke environment. All are equipped with a tricolor light for presenting different light based stimuli. In addition, the 80117RM has an oversized plastic surround and specially designed conical hole for animals with head stages as well as provisions for liquid delivery.

Note: These nose pokes could also be used with the Behavioral Conditioning Console (Model 81335C) in the Lafayette Learning Systems with some limited features. The Model 80116O and Model 80116OR nose pokes, not covered by this manual, are through-hole designs that can be used with either the stand alone control console or computerized systems. The open hole design is also suitable for air puff stimuli, drug delivery, or the delivery of olfactory stimuli.
