Home Cage
Continuous running wheel monitoring, lickometer microstructure analysis, nest building, and burrowing assessment. ConductMaze records 24-hour activity patterns, bout analysis, and circadian rhythm data with minimal experimenter intervention.
Circadian Activity Monitoring
Circadian activity monitoring provides continuous, non-invasive recording of locomotor activity patterns in the home cage over days to weeks using infrared beam-break arrays, passive infrared motion sensors, or running wheel rotations.
6 parametersHome Cage Monitoring
Home cage monitoring provides continuous, undisturbed observation of rodent behavior in the home environment using overhead video, side-view cameras, or multi-sensor arrays.
7 parametersRunning Wheel Activity Monitoring
Running wheel activity monitoring provides continuous, non-invasive measurement of voluntary locomotor behavior and circadian rhythmicity in rodents within their home cage.
6 parametersLickometer Fluid Intake Monitoring
Lickometer systems provide precise, continuous measurement of fluid consumption behavior in rodents by detecting individual lick events at one or more drinking spouts within the home cage.
7 parametersNest Building Assessment
The nest building assessment is a simple, non-invasive assay that exploits the innate motivation of mice to construct nests from available material, providing a sensitive readout of general well-being, thermoregulatory drive, and hippocampal integrity.
8 parametersBurrowing Test
The burrowing test measures the innate species-typical behavior of rodents to displace material from a tube placed in their cage, providing one of the most sensitive assays for detecting sickness behavior, hippocampal dysfunction, and prion-related neurodegeneration.
9 parametersVoluntary Wheel Running
Voluntary wheel running is a continuous home-cage monitoring paradigm that leverages the intrinsic motivation of rodents to run on freely accessible wheels, providing high-resolution data on locomotor activity, circadian rhythmicity, and reward-related behavior without experimenter intervention or food restriction.
9 parametersIntelliCage Automated Home-Cage Testing
The IntelliCage is a fully automated home-cage testing system that enables continuous cognitive and behavioral assessment of group-housed mice without experimenter handling, providing unprecedented throughput and ecological validity for behavioral phenotyping.
8 parametersDrosophila Activity Monitor (DAM)
The Drosophila Activity Monitor (DAM) is a high-throughput infrared beam-break system for continuous recording of locomotor activity, circadian rhythms, and sleep in individually housed Drosophila melanogaster over periods spanning days to weeks.
