Grid Enclosure for Social Test in Rat, model LE875A is manufactured by Panlab The social interaction test by pairs provides a popular and standard paradigm to study general social behavior. Social avoidance behavior is used in a wide variety of models, for instance for assessing neophobia anxiety and depression-like behaviors. In standard experiments, two grid enclosures containing "stranger” animals are placed in the box allowing a close interaction with the animal tested (as well as protection in case one of them manifests strong aggressive behavior). All our model are now compatible with experiments using tethered animals.
Compatible with tethered animals Removable compartment dividers allow using the box for many behavioral paradigms Material does not retain odors Manual sliding doors Optimized for video-tracking systems with non-reflecting material
