Lessons From The Core: Longitudinal Assessment vs. Point Sampling of Behaviors in Mice
In this webinar, experts at The Myers Neuro-Behavioral Core Facility at Tel-Aviv University address specific advantages and limitations of today's home cage monitoring (HCM) technology used in behavioral research.
From Pregnancy to Menopause: Studies of Physical Activity, Behavior, and Energy Balance in Mice
Sharon Ladyman and Vicki Vieira-Potter share their research on the effects of hormones and pregnancy on daily activity in mice.
Case Studies in Home Cage Monitoring: Rodent Behavior, Circadian Biology and Animal Welfare
Joanna Moore and Kenneth Dyar present applications of the DVC® system from different research perspectives and discuss how home cage monitoring can be used to study animal model development, physiology and behavior
Cravings and Weightlifting Squats – Technologies that Explore New Metabolic and Behavioral Research
Zhen Yan and Diego Bohórquez present case studies demonstrating the use of automated home cage phenotyping for preclinical obesity research.
Improving Animal Modeling with 24/7 Home Cage Monitoring in Bioexclusion & Biocontainment Mouse Housing Systems
Experts discuss current biosafety requirements and what home cage monitoring can teach us in bioexclusion and biocontainment studies.
The Use of Home Cage Monitoring to Determine Whether Individual Male Mouse Activity Patterns Correlate With Nest Complexity
It is well established that nesting materials are an important inclusion for mouse cages. We wanted to determine whether there was a significant difference in mice activity when offered three different material choices and whether there was any correlation between activity in the cage and nest complexity.
Locomotor Activity: refinement, reduction and replicability ‘round the clock in animal studies
A growing body of evidence suggests that Home Cage Monitoring studies are becoming key tools for in vivo animal research for three main reasons: reduction in animal distress thereby increasing welfare, minimization of biases (wanted and unwanted), and increased reproducibility of data.
