Built around the open-source pyControl framework, the system enables automated execution of behavioral tasks with precise control of stimuli, rewards, and event timing. The GridMaze is particularly suited for studies involving spatial navigation, decision-making, and cognitive flexibility. It can also be combined with external recording systems such as imaging setups or cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts unique design of removable bridges allows rapid reconfiguration of the spatial maze layout. R\u003cspan\u003eemovable bridge modules define the interconnections between towers and enable rapid reconfiguration of the maze’s spatial layout. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe removable \u003cstrong\u003epyControl GridMaze Bridge\u003c\/strong\u003e connects individual GridMaze towers and can be added or removed quickly to modify the available pathways.
