Example Protocols for MotoTrak Testing

Eventually you’ll probably want to customize MotoTrak testing for your particular research model, but most labs find it helpful to start with what has worked well in other labs. We’ve gathered experimental protocols from several experienced MotoTrak-using labs and distilled them into general guidelines that might be helpful for you when getting started. As you gain experience with MotoTrak and see how your particular animals and research model perform, you can easily adjust the training and testing parameters by simply copying and editing the stage files.
