Setting up another batch of activity detectors created by Lex Kravitz and MCCI. This makes 22 detectors at Otago across 5 labs. Everyone should check out Pallidus

This week's post on OpenBehavior is about an #opensource T-maze developed for an undergrad lab course at American University. It was designed by Kevin Chavez Lopez. The project emphasizes the utility of #3Dprinting in #neuroscience. Read about it here: edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/p…

Pallidus is not exhibiting at #SFN2023 but I'll be there all week. If anyone wants to see our wireless homecage sensor in person reach out!

New paper from Rich Slivicki Rob Gereau Meaghan Creed @LexKravitz using the Pallidus MR1 activity and environmental sensor to quantify both the acute effects of oxycodone and THC on activity levels and longer term circadian changes from drug exposure biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Humidity levels in many animal facilities vary widely, reflecting changes in atmospheric humidity outside the facility. Does that matter to the animals? (Plot shows 30 days of data from inside one cage)

A milestone for 2023 - we just shipped our 200th sensor! Get in touch if you're curious about what's going on in your mouse cages - the MR1 is a wireless sensor that tracks activity, light, temp, and humidity!

Are you curious if the MR1 will fit in your cages? Get in touch via DM or at pallidus.io and we'll mail you a dummy sensor so you can test it! (while supplies last, yada yada)

Need help getting a new project going? Check out this week's post on OpenBehavior for information on several forums like the NeuroMethods Slack & TheBehaviourForum.org and a new Discord server from our project. #neuroscience #opensource #researchtools edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/2…

Have you ever wanted to measure how much noise humans make in the mouse colony? We have a solution, get in touch :)

David Munoz Tord, Géraldine Coppin, and colleagues developed an #opensource design for a 3D-printed mouthpiece for taste delivery in fMRI scans. Read about it in this week's post on OpenBehavior. David Munoz Tord Géraldine Coppin #neuroscience #3Dprinting edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/p…

Depth MoSeq and Keypoint MoSeq turn video data into sub-second syllables, allowing for quantification of behavioral motifs. Read about these methods in this week's post on OpenBehavior. @Datta_Lab #neuroscience #opensource edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/p…

Want to monitor the environment of your housing room? We have an affordable solution for monitoring temperature, humidity, light, noise levels, and human activity! Get in touch to learn more or see a live demo!

Are noise levels in your colony rooms impacting your experiments? Get in touch for an affordable solution for tracking noise, human activity, light, temperature, and humidity around the clock (elevations in noise in the graph below are cage change days).

Dr Mariana Cardoso Melo and team from Federal University of São Paulo developed an #opensource lickometer system for use in eight cages, each with two drinking sippers. Mariana Cardoso Melo Karina Possa Abrahao Check it out in this week's post on OpenBehavior: edspace.american.edu/openbehavior/p…
