Automatic Training of Rat Cyborgs for Navigation

Figure 8

A side view of the modified eight-arm radial maze for automatic training. Two high plexiglass walls (40 cm × 15 cm) have been added to each arm (60 cm × 15 cm) to prevent the rat cyborg from climbing up the arm, and the width of each arm is set small enough to prevent the rat cyborg from turning around. Because the plexiglass walls is shorter than each arm, the rat cyborg can turn around at the tail end.
