Adapted for rats, this is a habit or stimulus-response task in which the rodent learns a conditional rule.
This is a habit or stimulus-response task in which the rodent learns a rule of the type "If shape A presented, respond to the left location; if shape B is presented, respond to the right location". This type of test is sensitive to damage in the dorsal striatum and is therefore relevant to Huntington's and Parkinson's disease.

The Second Generation Bussey Chambers with Intelli-interface supports up to 20 chambers on one PC. On the strength of 10 years of feedback and development, the system is even more flexible and with more features.
