Improved automated apparatus for recording rotation (circling behavior) in rats or mice.
An improved automated apparatus for measuring rotation (circling behavior) is described. The apparatus may be designed for either mice or rats. The logic circuit differentiates between complete 360 degrees rotations and incomplete oscillatory turns; preliminary data indicate that this distinction has functional significance.
