Pinnacle offers a unique solution for sleep deprivation of mice without associated exercise effects. An adjustable metal bar, positioned above the bottom of the cage, rotates during periods of sleep or programmed sleep deprivation. This disturbs the subject such that the animal must wake up to move around the bar as it rotates. Rotation of the bar is programmed independently to follow a controlled deprivation paradigm as defined by the experimenter.
