Excited our new behavioural task is out now! https://t.co/hz6D0wO7Se. This task draws on a natural species-specific behaviour to measure motivational state in mice. Minimal training time and no restriction required. Suitable for phenotyping and drug screening. Check it out! 🐭

The RSPCA highlight the 3Hs as an approach to reduce severe suffering in one of their latest articles! Find out about how implementing the 3Hs can reduce cumulative suffering below https://t.co/qxbjtXimut

[Dr Megan Jackson @MeganGJackson]

Happy to share my latest paper! Investigating age-related apathy, we found behavioural changes in aged rats that contrasted with findings in aged mice! We find interesting changes in cognitive flexibility, but only from outside the operant box… https://t.co/pDgS0WRMal
