In our lab, we are using a wide variety of behavioral and physiological instruments, with an emphasis on technological integration between the systems.
A. Human:
Auditory Sustained Attention Test (ASAT), Startle response system, Electro-dermal response, EEG and fNIR.
B. Animal models (rats and mice):
Behavioral: Plus maze, T-maze, Open Field, Object Recognition, Pre-Pulse Inhibition, Startle response, Social Cooperation maze, Rotarod, Water maze, Radial maze, Shuttle box, Fear conditioning, Sucrose preference test, stress procedures, Porsolt test, 5-CSRTT and Auditory Sustained Attention (ASAT). In addition, we have the latest versions of Ethovision and Observer software (Noldus ltd.) that also serve as a platform for custom-made software developed in our lab.
Molecular Biology: ELISA, Western blot analysis, Immunohistochemical staining.
Electrophysiology: Extracellular and single unit in-vivo electrophysiological recordings in behaving animals (Multichannel systems ltd.).
Social Cooperation Maze
….and more.
