While loud, the pneumatic barriers are easy to control (we've included air flow valves) and produce no electrical artifacts. Our rats habituate to the sound within 1-2 sessions.

Of course, feel free to remix the barrier system for your mazes too!

Last but not least (and the most challenging), barriers! Barriers can be placed between any two track pieces to control available routes on the maze. We spent a lot of time on electric motor barriers, but with some help from our friends in the van der Meer lab, we switched to pneumatic barriers
