Abstract

An actograph for continuous recording of the animal's position on the floor of its cage is described. The sensitive devices are slightly flexible blades according to the position X, Y of the animal being tested, on the floor, are recorded by strain gauges cemented on. The main interesting features of this actograph are: - a non-disturbance of the tested animal's behaviour, - a complete space-time analysis of its motor-activity.
