Figure Legend Snippet: Three dimensional schematic of the dolognawmeter. (a) Opaque quarter rear view. Removal of the green cap allows loading of the mouse into the device. (b) Transparent view in quarter rear view showing the mouse gnawing the second dowel after severing the first dowel. The dowels are attached to springs and retracted once severed. The second timer automatically starts once the first dowel is severed. (c) Opaque bottom view of device. (d) Transparent side view with mouse in the confinement tube. The first dowel has been severed and the mouse immediately starts gnawing the second dowel. (e) Transparent quarter frontal view. Once the mouse gnaws through the second dowel the mouse is able to move free of the confinement tube and has access to the standard cage housing the dolognawmeter. (f) Transparent view from above.
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: Infrared photographs of mouse gnawing through the dowel and escaping from a transparent version of the dolognawmeter. (a) Overhead view of mouse gnawing through dowel. With training, mice learn to gnaw through the dowel in a “V” shaped pattern. (b) Frontal view of mouse in the dolognawmeter gnawing through a dowel. (c) Inferior view of mouse gnawing through dowel. Note that the mouse does not consume the detritus (white flakes) from the dowel. (d) Once the mouse gnaws through the dowel, springs immediately retract the severed dowel and allow the mouse to exit the dolognawmeter (see supplemental video).
