Introduction
Welcome to the Unit of Behavioral Studies, in the core facility of Institute of Experimental Medicine, which provides extensive opportunities, EU standards-compliant housing and a large equipment pool for behavioural experiments on mice and rats.
Basic neuroscience needs behavioral characterisation of animal models to improve its translational value.
If …
- you have a new model to study neural processes in vivo
- you would like to phenotype your new transgenic animal strain
- you or your reviewer need to confirm the conclusion of your recent results
- you have a new drug candidate or
- you would like to develop novel treatment approaches for neuronal or psychiatric disorders
…the Unit of Behavioral Studies is an ideal choice to design comprehensive behavioral test series.
Reliable, experienced scientific background provides widespread test series for behavioral experiments.
In addition to serving the needs of the Institute, the Unit is also capable of carrying out external assignments, from designing experiments to implementation and evaluation of resulted data.
The Unit was funded by the Infrastructure Development Grant of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and opened in 2014.
