Pre-pulse inhibition of the Startle reflex (PPI) is a phenomenon in which a weak stimulus (sound or light, or air-puff) suppress the startle response to a subsequent stronger startle stimulus (of the same kind).

The interest in this technique is mainly due to the fact that impairment in PPI is normally linked to a dysfunction in the sensorimotor mechanism, which has been shown in...

The three-chamber test is the classic test to assess social behavior and social memory in rodents. This may range from autism disease to dominance tests and social novelty. During the test one animal is freely moving while the other two are confined into circular grid bar cages.

The Ugo Basile system includes a high contrast or IR-transparent floor for the best quality video-tracking...

Provides and easy to use means of immobilizing an animal for surgery or procedures such as imaging. Gas Anesthesia (compared to injections) is a very quick way to induce total unconsciousness and also assists fast recovery.

High quality compact, modular and virtually unbreakable system. Reliable and precise delivery of the anesthetic gas to animals. Expandable system providing...

To change the complexity of the experiment a set of 5 Enlarger for Mouse RotaRod made with smooth rubber is available. It increases the diameter of the rod from the original 30 mm to 60 mm and changes the surface from a grooved one to a smooth one. They can be easily add to rods thanks to magnetic fixings.

The Ugo Basile RotaRod is the 1st and original, invented after the Dunham and...

To have an additional parameter to change the complexity of the experiment a set of 5 Enlargers for Mouse RotaRod with grooves is available. It increases the diameter of the rod from the original 30 mm to 60 mm. They can be easily added to the rotating drum thanks to magnetic fixings.

To change the complexity of the experiment a set of 4 Enlarger for Rat RotaRod made with smooth rubber is available. It increases the diameter of the rod from the original 60 mm to 120 mm and changes the surface from a grooved one to a smooth one. They can be easily add to rods thanks to magnetic fixings.

Running wheels provide a convenient method for measuring rodent spontaneous motor activity over long periods of time. Used for research on circadian rhythms, motor function, aging, energy balance, recovering and pain related exercise.

Robust mouse and rat models measure rodent activity across time. Models available with an LCD counter and can also be connected to a Windows PC. Data...

The RotaRod is a simple test to assess motor function and coordination in rodents. Motor coordination or fatigue can be evaluated by measuring the time the animal stays on a rotating rod before falling. The Rod can rotate at constant, accelerating, rocking (back and forth) or through complex acceleration/deceleration ramps, thanks to the included PC software XPad.
