Cognitive Tests – Avoidance Learning
Avoidance learning is a key behavioral paradigm used to assess fear conditioning, learning, and memory in rodents
Key Research Model Applications of Avoidance Learning
The avoidance learning test is a three-day automated home-cage approach to measure avoidance learning in a high-throughput fashion. Mice learn to switch to their non-preferred shelter entrance, by pairing their preferred entrance with a mildly aversive stimulus (i.e., illumination of the shelter).
Our scientists have successfully used this task to characterize inbred strains and mutant mice with avoidance learning deficits (Maroteaux et al., 2012).

Cognition Wall™ Discrimination Learning Sample Data
During avoidance learning in the PhenoTyper™, one of the two entrances of the shelter is paired with illumination of the shelter. A shift in entering through non-illuminated entrance is an indication successful avoidance learning.

AAALAC Accreditation
InnoSer has earned the AAALAC accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to responsible animal care and use. AAALAC International is a nonprofit organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals in science through voluntary accreditation and assessment programs. Our accreditation is valid for three years, incl. 2023. Read more about the AAALAC accreditation programme here.
Animal Welfare
The 3Rs impact everything from policy and regulatory change to the development and uptake of new technologies and approaches. This is why InnoSer has ongoing commitment and monitoring of these processes. The steps we practice maximize our ability to replace, reduce and refine animal involvement and facilitate our commitment to these principles when it comes to research and drug development.
