Operant House: A Versatile Open-Source Platform for Automated Operant Conditioning Testing of Mice in Home Cages

2025-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Operant conditioning is a valuable method for studying cognitive functions, yet its adoption is limited by low throughput, labor intensity, and high costs. Here, we developed “Operant House,” a low-cost, programmable device featuring a touchscreen, retractable levers, and a water reward port, designed for flexible, automated operant conditioning tasks. To validate its utility, we implemented two protocols to asses...
