Animal behavioral experiments are important methods used to detect and quantify the presence of various indications in neuroscience research. The comprehensive evaluation of animal models' learning and memory, mental emotions, motor coordination, and other aspects through behavioral experiments can help researchers explore complex life phenomena such as cognition, emotion, and movement.
Rats and mice which have a disease pathophysiology are commonly used animal models in neurobehavioral research. Cyagen’s expert team has built a rodent neurobehavioral platform after years of preparation. We have state-of-the-art behavioral experimental equipment with a recording and analysis system, which can provide multi-type rodent behavioral experimental services such as water mazes, novel object recognition (NOR), Y maze, rotarod, open field, forced swimming, elevated plus maze (EPM), and more. Cyagen provides one-stop services to speed up your research, from mouse/rat model generation, surgery or medication administration, behavioral tests, and pathological marker detection.
