Main Features:
• Thermal Insulated Aluminum Ring (runway ID 45cm, OD 57cm)
• Two heating devices to establish symmetric gradient
• Circular design guarantees bias-free, reproducible data—no
spatial cues or border effects
• Creates 12 zones per side (∆ ≈ 2.3˚C between each zone)
• Includes B/W USB camera and set of 4 dual (visible/I.R.) lights
• Thermal Gradient Ring Mode in ANY-maze for easy protocol set up
Video recording and analysis is performed through ANY-maze Video Tracking Software. The TGR simply connects to your computer via USB and is recognized as an I/O device in ANY-maze. The temperature of all 12 zones is monitored in real time through ANY-maze by the 4 thermocouples embedded in the TGR. Data output includes: preference temperature, time spent in each zone, and percent of time spent above the given temperature.

Current approaches to investigations of brain circuits and systems require detailed analysis of neuronal circuit dynamics at cellular or greater resolution across multiple brain regions. Projects being pursued by multiple members of the UNAM lab utilize the Stoelting Ugo Basile Thermal Gradient Ring (TGR) for mice, a novel device for the analysis of comprehensive thermal preference phenotyping. The TGR consists of a circular track that creates a temperature gradient between two set temperature extremes. The mouse is able to freely move across each zone while ANY-maze records and analyzes the preference behavior. The system must match existing system due to data sets already obtained and for continuity and reproducibility of existing and future experiments.
