The conditioned place preference chamber is a paradigm widely used to explore the reinforcing effects of natural and pharmacological stimuli, including drugs of addiction. Combinations of floor and wall cues are available

In this variant,  subjects are allowed to freely move between a compartment in which they were conditioned with either drug cues or neutral cues. The wall cues a (come with a maze) provide visual reinforcement

This dual-chamber place preference allows for biased and unbiased conditioned place preference testing. A removable door (not shown) allows isolation into one compartment of the apparatus of the animal. Preference testing is then done by removing the door to allow the mouse to freely explore between the two compartments (as seen in the image)

• Visual pattern inserts are sandwiched between the clear interior layer and the outer grey layer. These visual pattern inserts do not interact with the mouse directly, preserving the life of the apparatus.
• Optional Standing Inserts (visualized) are for spatial place preference procedures. Please request separately
