The phrase "a light compartment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a compartment that is designed to be lightweight or to hold light items, often in contexts related to transportation or storage.
Example: "The new model features a light compartment that allows for easy access to essential gear without adding unnecessary weight."
Alternatives: "a lightweight compartment" or "a storage area for light items."
The entering latency to a light compartment was measured.
The experiments took place in a test chamber consisting of two compartments, a light compartment (D25 cm×W25 cm×H27 cm) and a dark compartment (D30 cm×W30 cm×H30 cm) (Figure 1A).
The testing apparatus (Med Associates, St Albans, VT) consisted of a rectangular Plexiglas box (44×8.5×25 cm) equally divided into a light compartment connected by a door (17 cm in height) to a dark compartment.
The apparatus consisted of a two-compartment box with a light compartment and a dark compartment, each measuring 270 (depth) × 370 (width) × 360 (height) mm.
consisted of a light compartment that illuminated by a 400-lux light and a dark compartment with black opaque walls and lids.
In this study, we developed IA paradigms in which the retrieval of fear memory triggers reconsolidation without inducing memory extinction; the reconsolidation and extinction phases are discriminated at the time point when the mice enter a dark compartment from a light compartment.
For the light dark place preference test (index of anxiety-like behavior), mice were placed into the open compartment of a box consisting of a dark compartment and an illuminated light compartment that are connected through a single small opening.
In the IA task, mice receive an electrical footshock after they enter a dark (shock) compartment from a light (safe) compartment and form a memory to avoid the dark compartment.
Many light-dark boxes provide spatial cues for the transition from the light to the dark (e.g. a small door in the wall separation the light and dark compartment, an open, large light compartment vs. a small, closed dark compartment; [ 92, 93]).
In the LDT, UCN3OE mice showed increased anxiety-like behavior with a longer latency to enter the light compartment and a tendency toward less entries into the light and less time spent in the light.
During this time, a mesh partition attached in the center of the light compartment (in between a subject and a partner) did not permit the subjects to enter the dark compartment.
