Conditioned Place Preference (CPP), Spatial with Corner Inserts

The conditioned place preference chamber is a paradigm widely used to explore the reinforcing effects of natural and stimuli. The spatial conditioned place preference chamber is a modification of the original CPP chamber that assesses the similar paradigms as the standard CPP chamber, but includes standing inserts for spatial place preference procedures.

In this variant, subjects are allowed to freely move between a compartment in which they were conditioned with either cues or neutral cues. The different cues provide visual reinforcement. This dual chamber place preference allows for biased and unbiased conditioned place preference testing. A removable door allows isolation into one compartment of the apparatus for the subject. Preference testing is then done by removing the door to allow the subject to freely explore between the two compartments.

The Spatial conditioned place preference chamber is a modification of the original CPP chamber that assesses the similar paradigms as the standard CPP chamber but includes standing inserts for spatial place preference procedures. Combinations of floor and cues are available including solid colors of black, grey, white, clear, and blue, and patterns such as dots, and horizontal/vertical/diagonal stripes.
