Applications of EthoVision

anxious animal

Anxiety & fear

Many psychiatric illnesses are depression- or anxiety-related disorders. Behavioral tests with rodents are crucial to get insights on the underlying mechanisms and eventually find new treatments.

Imaging & optogenetics

Optogenetics is a method to specifically activate or even inhibit small groups of neurons with light. By assessing the effect of this stimulation on animal behavior, one can gain insight into neuronal functioning.

General locomotor activity

Video tracking recognizes your animal from a live video feed or video file and is able to track its movement or activity. For objective data collection, video tracking software is a must.

Learning & memory

There is a wide range of well-validated paradigms available for testing cognition. Studies focus on different types of learning and memory, such as spatial memory, long-term, short-term, and working memory.

Long-term behavioral testing

Long-term behavioral testing is ideal to monitor the daily rhythm, activity patterns, stereotypic and epileptic behavior, or eating and drinking behavior of your lab animal over a consecutive period of time.
social animal fish and rats

Social behaviors

The study of social interaction between two or more animals is an interesting model for studying schooling or shoaling, or for modeling disorders that affect social behavior, such as schizophrenia and autism.
