Assessing Reproductive Status/Stages in Mice

Claudia S. Caligioni · 1 Jul 2009

The short reproductive cycle length observed in rodents, called the estrous cycle, makes them an ideal animal model for investigation of changes that occur during the reproductive cycle. Most of the data in the literature about the estrous cycle is obtained from rats because they are easily manipulated and they exhibit a clear and well-defined…

Rodent Models of Depression: Forced Swim and Tail Suspension Behavioral Despair Tests in Rats and Mice

Vincent Castagné, Paul Moser, Sylvain Roux et al. · 1 Apr 2011

The development of antidepressants requires simple rodent behavioral tests for initial screening before undertaking more complex preclinical tests and clinical evaluation. Presented in the unit are two widely used screening tests used for antidepressants, the forced swim (also termed behavioral despair) test in the rat and mouse, and the tail suspension test in the mouse.…

Automated Three‐Chambered Social Approach Task for Mice

Mu Yang, Jill L. Silverman, Jacqueline N. Crawley · 1 Jul 2011

Autism is diagnosed by three major symptom categories: unusual reciprocal social interactions, impaired communication, and repetitive behaviors with restricted interests. Direct social approach in mice has strong face validity to simple social approach behaviors in humans, which are frequently impaired in autism. This unit presents a basic protocol for a standardized, high-throughput social approach test…

Simple Behavioral Assessment of Mouse Olfaction

Mu Yang, Jacqueline N. Crawley · 1 Jul 2009

This unit presents two basic protocols that offer rapid assessments of anosmia (the absence of a sense of smell) in mice. The buried food test is used to check for the ability to smell volatile odors. The olfactory habituation/dishabituation test is used to test whether the animal can detect and differentiate different odors, including both…

Motor Coordination and Balance in Rodents

Rebecca J. Carter, Jennifer P. Morton, Stephen B. Dunnett · 1 May 2001

Measurement of motor coordination and balance can be used not only to assess the effect of drugs or other experimental manipulations on mice and rats, but also to characterize the motor phenotype of transgenic or knock-out animals. Three well established and widely used protocols for measuring motor coordination and balance in mice and rats (rotarod,…
