Abstract. The device designed for testing and rehabilitation of decerebrated animals allows investigation of local precision motor responses to spatially distributed manipulation tools and associated signaling stimuli, study of motor reflexes sequentially performed by different operant limbs upon systemic presentation of signaling stimuli, investigation of tonic motor responses related to postural adjustments during instrumental reflexes requiring rapid switching between operant limbs, use of visual, tactile, and aversive stimuli as conditioned signals, and registration of autonomic components of instrumental reflexes.

Keywords: target-directed behavior, postural muscle reflexes, apraxia, testing and rehabilitation.
