RWD Olfactometer

Application

The RWD Olfactomer is used for cognitive and memory training in mice. Based on olfactory stimulation associated with drinking water reward feedback, a cognitive learning paradigm can be established. Realize experimental tasks such as odor stimulation, olfactory discrimination, and cognitive training, and help to research on Neurological Diseases, Cognitive Learning mechanisms, olfactory neural circuit, etc.

System Components

The RWD Olfactomer supports multiple animals to perform multiple odor training at the same time. Including sound cubicle, mouse head-fixing, licking rewards, odor control, IR camera, desktop software and signal transmission, which can be expanded to connect with optogenetics and electrophysiology equipment.

Features

High-throughput training

A single workstation supports up to 8 choice for mice simultaneous training, which greatly saves time and improves experimental efficiency.

Automated behavioral training

The odor stimulation module is associated with the drinking water reward module.

High sensitivity response

Quick odor pulse switch-over, accurate lick counting module

Powerful software

Support flexible programming, built-in includes Go/No-Go, DNMS, DPA paradigm, and support user-defined paradigm.

Synchronous signaling

Configure digital input/output module, TTL signals transmission to combine with optogenetics, electrophysiology and other equipment

Synchronous Video recording

Configure with IR camera recording real-time images of mouse licking behavior
