Behavioral Testing & Base Rates

Rat behavioral services include conducting multiple behavior assays that examine learning, memory, anxiety-like, reproductive behaviors, social interactions, ultrasonic vocalizations, and motor functions. Gonadectomies, estrous cycle cell morphology, and multiplex analyte analysis are also available. We also provide experimental design consultation and data analysis and interpretation upon request.

Note: Prior to any of the following services, the cost of the project will be agreed upon. The total cost will be based on the following services and rates, but will depend upon the nature and complexity of the project.
