Research areas
Neuroscience and animal behaviour
Rats are widely used in neurosciences. Behavioural scientists are becoming more and more interested in combined synchronous monitoring of behavior and animal physiology. Physiological data acquired by PhysioLinq can be synchronized with video tracking systems (such as EthoVision), behavioral observation and video annotation systems (such as The Observer).
Phenotyping
Since the genome of the rat has been mapped and genetically modified rats have been created, the need for automated phenotyping of modified rats has increased. PhysioLinq is very useful for rapid and accurate phenotyping.
Biomedical science
PhysioLinq® has many applications in pharmacological, physiological and toxicological research.
