IntelliCage for rats |
Description EN: |
The IntelliCage allows you to assess the home cage behavior and cognitive performance of up to 8 rats separately while they are living in a social environment. This unique experimental setup fosters natural social behavior in a biologically relevant, enriched but highly standardized home cage context. In this way, the IntelliCage minimizes the need for handling and human intervention, thereby increasing task validity, data reproducibility and ensuring a high level of animal welfare. |
