JetBall Virtual Reality System for mice with TFT screens can be used with mice to investigate brain functions during decision making. This is a worldwide unique product with a TFT surround monitor system and a spherical treadmill with optional operant devices. The JetBall, an air cushioned spherical treadmill allows a restrained animal to navigate in a virtual world. Brain function can be examined with electrophysiological, imaging and optogenetic methods while the animal performs behavioural tasks employing navigation, cognition, learning, or memory.
