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 learning experiments. It can also be combined with external recording systems such as cameras or imaging setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003epyControl GridMaze Expander Board\u003c\/strong\u003e is an expansion board that connects to the Maze Hub Board and provides additional behaviour ports for connecting GridMaze tower modules.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Expander Board enables the number of connected tower interaction points to be increased and is suitable for building, replacing, or expanding the electronic control setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixGuard\"\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion board for pyControl GridMaze electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides behavior ports for connecting GridMaze tower modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports scalable GridMaze configurations when used with the Maze Hub Board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as a replacement, spare, or system expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTENTS\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaze Expander PCB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePUBLICATION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMohamady El-Gaby, Adam Loyd Harris, James C.
