Sociability Cage
Designed for Precise Social Interaction Studies
The Sociability Cage is an essential tool for behavioral research, allowing controlled studies on social interactions in rodents. Featuring two grey ‘stranger cages’ with wide grid bars, this setup promotes natural exploratory and social behaviors while ensuring accurate tracking.
Key Results Metrics
Accurately Assess Social Behavior and Interaction
Time Spent in Each Compartment
Tracks how long rodents remain in each area, indicating social preference and interaction levels.
Interaction with Stranger Cages
Measures the frequency and duration of interactions with enclosed conspecifics, providing insights into sociability and recognition behaviors.
Exploratory Behavior
Analyzes movement patterns to assess anxiety levels and curiosity, helping researchers evaluate social motivation and avoidance responses.
Transitions Between Compartments
Counts the number of compartment switches, offering a deeper understanding of rodent social exploration and decision-making.
Distance Traveled
Calculates the total movement during a session, useful for examining activity levels and behavioral consistency.
Sociability Cage
Social Preference & Recognition Testing
Optimized for Social Behavior Research
Supports diverse social interaction experiments by evaluating rodent preference, recognition, and exploratory behavior under controlled conditions making it ideal for neuroscience
Customizable for Experimental Needs
Features adjustable configurations for stranger cage placement, compartment tracking, and motion analysis, ensuring seamless integration with automated behavior-tracking software.
