Instruments

One record for each of the 56 instruments in the ConductScience store's citation list, each made by ConductScience or by Maze Engineers, a sister company under the same owners. Each gives its maker and catalog number, the research IDs the store gives it from public ID lists (its behavioral test, outcome measures and species, among others), the papers the list says used it, joined to PubMed where the titles agree, and the MeSH headings NLM gave those papers. Where PMC holds a paper's open text, the link is checked again on that text.

Search Instruments.

An instrument's catalog name, such as elevated-plus-maze; a research ID the store gives instruments, such as MMO:0000262 or NCBITaxon:10116, in any case; or words. Words find the instruments whose name, maker, catalog number or research IDs hold a word starting with each one, and a number only the same number.
