- Should the animals be housed in groups or singly-housed before testing?
- Will the animal’s age influence the test results?
- What should the water temperature be (if water is used in the apparatus)?
- Are there sex differences in the test outcomes?
Conducting behavioral neuroscience experiments is not a piece of cake (or, at least not always). It is way too easy to get overwhelmed and confused by all the necessary procedures, protocols, details, and equipment. It’s a lot of information to handle, sometimes even for us. So, we have put together a series of common questions and concerns, in order to help scientists carrying out behavioral experiments.
And by the way, we update this list frequently, so be sure to check back for new content.
