Build a test battery
As you pick the tests your study will run, this page counts the animal research papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention all of them.
Then add the apparatus our store sells for each test to one quote.
Your tests
Add the tests your study will run. Each test you add narrows the count to papers that mention every test so far.

How we count
A paper counts when its title or abstract mentions every test you pick.
The counts cover the 32,277 animal research papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention at least one of the 90 tests. A paper that mentions a test only in its methods is missed, so every count runs low. Two tests in one paper were not always run on the same animals.
The tool offers the 86 tests with papers from 2021 to 2025. Four had none: the dry-land Morris maze, the concatenated Y-maze, continuous object recognition and the bow-tie maze.
The paper list download gives each paper's PubMed ID, year, tests and species, so you can check any count here. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.
