Mouse Behavior-studying System

Mon, 03/19/2007 - 12:38pm

The Intellicage System allows researchers to clearly identify cognitive malfunctions and defects in a more normal social environment — particularly important when working with genetically modified strains. Transponder technology allows individual performance to be assessed. The system can be used for uninterrupted short- or long-term monitoring. Data analysis software can be used to customize specific studies. The animal friendly environment simulates living together in social groups which reduces stereotypic behavior and permits animals to interact in a more natural manner. Each Intellicage involves 4 “intelligent” corners of the cage with two doors triggered by nose-pokes, antennae for transponder recognition, water bottles for liquid consumption or preference testing, air valves for delivery of punishment (air puffs), as well as signaling LED’s for choice discrimination.
