Social Behavior Tests – Tube Test
The tube test is a simple and robust behavioral assay that serves as a reliable measure of social hierarchy in mice
Key Research Model Applications of Tube Test
The Tube test assesses social dominance in mice. The tube is wide enough to fit one mouse. After being habituated to run through the tube individually, two mice are released from the opposite ends of the tube. After mice meet each other in the middle, the social recessive mouse moves backward out of the tube.
