The Place Preference Box is a standard experimental chamber for automated assessment of conditioned place preference and aversion in rodents, two tests widely used for screening the reinforcing properties of drugs (or natural stimuli) as well as for investigating the brain neurobiological systems implicated in reward and addiction.

The the Black and White model consists of two Perspex compartments of the same size interconnected by a central grey corridor. The compartments can be differentiated by both visual and tactile cues: the colour of the walls in each compartment (white or black) and the texture of the floors (smooth or rough). The box is provided with transparent frontal walls which may be covered with extractable opaque covers (included). Manually operated sliding doors are provided to manage the access to the two compartments from the corridor.

The experimental box can be supplied with or without automatic animal position detection system. All the place preference box can be associated with the video-tracking system (SMART software) for detection and analysis of animal position throughout the test. This option is not optimal for video tracking detection given the high contrast between the two compartments.

For the automated models (76-0218/LE892and 76-0219/LE893), the detection of the position of the animal is provided by the weight transducer technology and PPCWIN software.

Panlab also proposes another place preference box - spatial place preference box (see related product) - with optimised design for compartment differentiation without the possible bias introduced by the black and white colour of the compartment of the present box.
