社交行為測試平台 Sociability Apparatus (3-chambered social test)
產品型號: 46503
廠牌名稱: Ugo basile
社交行為測試平台是研究小鼠交際行為的有效工具,適用於自閉症、養育行為、社交行為及社會記憶等研究。
社交行為測試平台主體為一個有三個隔間的玻璃箱,灰色底板以及兩個灰色的網罩。
三隔間實驗箱能用於以下研究:
-社會新奇偏好
-交際研究
-支配行為
-母幼互動
產品特點
- 迷宮顏色與動物顏色對比強烈,有助於使用軌跡追蹤軟體
- 行為箱內部非光滑面,防止反光且利於動物行走
- 堅固且耐咬的小籠子
社交行為(Sociability)測試是一項歷史悠久的行為實驗,主要被用來探討自閉症行為、母幼行為以及社交相關測試。Ugo Basile的社交行為箱包含了3個隔間以及2個放置陌生動物的小籠子,包含了要進行相關實驗的一切所需小配件。
箱體本身使用柔和的淺灰色,與主流的動物軌跡追蹤軟體 (例如Ethovision、AnyMaze) 相容性極高。
The new Ugo Basile Sociability Cage (3-chambered social test) is a valuable tool to study social behaviour in mice. It is especially useful for research on autism disease, parental behaviour, sociability and social memory (social novelty).
Our Sociability Apparatus consists of a 3-chambered cage, with grey opaque walls, a special non-reflective grey-colored floor and 2 grid enclosures.
Many authors have shown that a 3 chambered box can be used to test, among the others:
- Social Novelty Preference
- Sociability
- Dominance
- Mum-Pup interaction
After a period of habituation the subject sociability is determined by measuring the time spent by the freely-moving subject in the proximity of the grid enclosures containing the first stranger mouse or rat. A second stranger is then introduced in the box within its enclosure and the preference for the new mouse/rat be easily assessed.
The stranger cage construction, allows the animmals to interact closely; the standard enclosures for mice are 15cm tall with an I.D. of 7cm: a larger model is also available, I.D. 10.5cm, 18.5cm tall). The top and the bottom are made of grey (46503- 003) or white (46503-013) PVC. The grid bars have a diameter of 3mm and are spaced 7mm. In the Rat version, the enclosures are 25cm tall, with an I.D. of 15cm; a cone-shaped lid disencourages the free rat to climb over the stranger cage.
The 46553 Mouse Cage perimetral walls and internal partitions of grey opaque PVC form a 3 compartment box, each 20x40x22(h)cm; two sliding doors (5x8(h)cm), opening on the central compartment, can be closed to confine the animal. Model 46503 with transparent walls is also available: the clear Perspex is ideal for visual observation of the experiment or for side positioning of the video-camera.
Dimensions of the 46502 and 46552 Rat Cage are 120x40x40(h)cm, hence each of the three compartments is 40x40cm. XL versions (respectively 46512 and 56562) are also available 120x80x40(h)cm, in which each compartment is 80x40cm.
Partitions can be easily removed for cleaning (or replaced with transparent ones, if preferred). Transparent lids can be ordered as optional.

應用領域
Research has shown that, although human social behavior is generally more complex, humans and animals share some aspects of social behavior.
The 3-chambered test is a valuable tool to assess general sociability and interest in social novelty in rodent models of CNS disorders.
Rodents normally prefer to spend time with another rodent (sociability) and will investigate a novel intruder more than a familiar one (social novelty).
Based on these inclinations, the Three Chamber Test can help identify rodents with deficits in sociability and/or social novelty.
