Excited to share a preprint of our new mouse behavioural task! Caterina Marangoni Foteini Xeni biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. With minimal training time and no physiological deprivation, we can measure the motivational state of mice by assessing their natural foraging behaviour.

Excited for my graduation at International Master's Degree in Neurosciences, University of Trieste with a final grade 110 cum laude 🎉🥳

Congratulations 🥳💪

Was great to talk today about our 3Hs Initiative and chat to lots of people about rodent welfare! Visit our website for more info! 3hs-initiative.co.uk

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… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🆕📰Just out in Neuropsychopharmacology from Foteini Xeni Caterina Marangoni & Dr Megan Jackson "Validation of a non-food or water motivated effort-based foraging task as a measure of motivational state in male mice" nature.com/articles/s4138…

Congrats Cate 🎉

New paper alert! 🚨🎉 Megan Jackson (Dr Megan Jackson), Cate Marangoni (Caterina Marangoni), and Foteini Xeni (Foteini Xeni) recently had a paper published in Nature (nature), on a new behavioural task in mice. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4138…  #UoBPPN #Nature
