- Alright, so in this screen
cast, I just wanted to show you
the elevated plus maze.
You can see here there's an open arm.
Horizontal to the field and
then perpendicular to that
is a arm covered by 15
centimeter tall walls
of plastic glass that is opaque.
So when I put the animal in,
I put it in on this side
and then put it in the
middle of the center area
or arena facing this open arm.
So that's the set up of
the elevated plus maze.
You can see here that I put
one to two inches of cotton
on the bottom
just in case the animal falls off.
They fall off occasionally,
I put them right back on.
If they, they usually fall off
when they're on the open arm
so suppose they fall off,
I put 'em back on.
That time should be
counted towards the time
that the animal spends on the open arm.
Now, I will subsequently in the next video
I'll walk you through this
particular animals test.
