Spontaneous Behavior Monitoring
Mice display a variety of spontaneous behaviors in our automated home-cages. These PhenoTyper™ cages (Noldus IT) enable tracking of mouse behaviour at high resolution with video cameras. without any human intervention. During the first three days in the PhenoTyper™, 115 behavioural parameters are extracted, processed and statistically analysed via our proprietary automated cloud-based software AHCODA™ (Loos et al. 2014; Loos et al. 2015).
