The Light/Dark Box Test

Exploring Rodent Anxiety

Explore anxiety research with the Light/Dark box test, revealing insights into rodent behavior and anxiety mechanisms.

Key Results Metrics

Insights into Behavioral Responses in the Light/Dark Box

These metrics offer invaluable insights into the behavioral responses of animals within the Light/Dark box, enabling researchers to delve deep into the nuances of anxiety-related behaviors and treatment efficacy.

Time Spent in the Light Side

Time in the illuminated zone reflects preference and reduced anxiety levels in Light/Dark Box analysis.

Time Spent in the Dark Side

Duration in the dark zone indicates comfort in low-light settings and helps assess anxiety responses.

Distance Traveled in the Light Side

Tracks exploratory activity and locomotion patterns in low-anxiety environments.

Distance Traveled in the Dark Side

Measures exploratory activity in anxiety-inducing settings, revealing behavioral responses to stress.

Number of Visits to the Dark Side

Tracks transitions to assess exploration, avoidance, and compartment preference under anxiety.

Time Immobile in the Light Side

Identifies freezing behavior, reflecting stress levels and emotional reactivity in safe zones.

Time Immobile in the Dark Side

Tracking immobility in the dark side reveals anxiety-related behaviors like freezing, aiding in understanding stress responses and emotional states in aversive conditions.

Dark Side Time Percentage

Measuring dark side time as a percentage of the total duration offers a standardized gauge of the subject's response to anxiety, aiding comparisons and detecting behavioral changes.

Unveiling Responses in the Light/Dark Box

Exploring Anxiety-Like Behavior in Rodents

The Light/Dark box is a widely-used tool for assessing anxiety-like behavior in rodents, offering insights into their reactions in aversive environments. Rodents navigate between brightly illuminated and dark chambers, with decreased time in the light indicating anxiety. Conversely, increased time in the light after anxiolytic treatment suggests reduced anxiety-like behaviors, enhancing our understanding of anxiety disorders and treatment efficacy.

Harnessing Hidden Zones

Mark areas where animals go out of view. Easily define exit criteria and boost control over experimental setup.

Enhanced Tracking Capabilities

Infrared tracking enables clear monitoring in dark zones, improving behavior comparison across the whole setup.

Precise Rearing Detection

Photo-beam arrays detect rearing with high accuracy, offering insights into responses across different environments.

Visualizing Animal Behavior

Comprehensive visualization options in tracking animal movements include track plots and heat maps. Track plots offer detailed representations of trajectories, aiding in understanding distinct behavioral patterns within the experimental context.
