Animal Behavioral Testing Equipment |
Animals are housed in the OHRC vivarium under the care and supervision of Division of Laboratory Animal Medicine (DLAM) staff veterinarians. Behavioral and functional testing of small animals is available in the BIRC facility. This includes assessment of sensory-motor integration impairment (tape test), assessment of motor coordination and balance (beam walking test, climbing pole, accelerating rotarod), assessment of forelimb asymmetry (cylinder test), acquisition of hippocampal-dependent learning including spatial memory, long-term memory, and long-term spatial memory (Morris Water Maze). |
