Behavioral Neuroscience
Behavioral neuroscience is critical for the understanding of the impact of cognitive biological functions on behavior. Through reliability and accuracy, our behavioral neuroscience products help researchers to rely on results in animal studies.
Types of Behavioral Testing Equipment
Research into animal behavior offers insight by using behavioral equipment.
Behavioral equipment spans a variety of fields and includes:
- Operant testing systems
- Mazes
- Conditioned taste aversion tests
- Social interactions
- Open-field tests
- Social activity
- Conditioned behavior tests
How to Choose the Right Behavioral Test for Your Research

Data Accuracy comes with Simple, Customizable Behavioral Neuroscience Equipment
As scientists seek answers to neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, clinical depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and others, it is critical to base results on reliable data. Using accurate, reliable animal models will lead us to a better understanding of the underlying biological conditions of such disorders. Supporting the biomedical researchers’ need to deliver real-world benefits in the lives of humans will help us minimize the devastating impact these neurological disorders have on society.
