The Noldus Phenotyper system will allow us to expand our experiments that utilize automated home cage behavioral monitoring. The Noldus Phenotyper system has several features that make it uniquely suited for our needs. These include: 1) Automated videobased 24/7 behavioral tracking. 2) Real-time camera feed to monitor health status of the animals. 3) Well established behavioral protocols that we have already validated and published with. 4) Compatibility with the data analysis pipeline from Sylincs, Inc. that greatly facilitates the throughput of our experiments by streamlining data analysis.
