The Concentric Square Field: a multivariate test arena for analysis of explorative strategies.

Behavioural brain research - 15 Mar 2006

Meyerson Bengt J, Augustsson Hanna, Berg Marita, Roman Erika

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we describe the behavior of laboratory rats in a recently developed observation arena, the Concentric Square Field (CSF). The CSF contains a number of areas designed to provoke exploration and behaviors associated with risk assessment, risk taking and security seeking in an environment not previously experienced. The model includes sheltered, open and elevated areas, a hole board device, areas with...
