Mobile HomeCage enables neurophysiological experiments in freely-moving, non-anesthetized mice via a firm and stable head-fixation of an animal placed in a carbon-fiber enclosure suspended on a cushion of air.
Mobile HomeCage eliminates the need for anesthesia (and the biases that anesthetics introduce to the brain research), alleviates the stress experienced by animals under standard head-fixation conditions and enriches the experiment by exposing the animals to a variety of tactile, olfactory and visual stimuli. It allows combining two-photon / wide-field imaging, electrophysiology, optogenetics and electrochemistry with behavioral readouts.
- No general anesthesia at any point
- Tactile in addition to visual stimuli
- Flat surface, freedom to move in any direction
- Stable head-fixation, highly reproducible results
- Efficient stress reduction – habituation in just 4 days!
- Behavior added to high-precision techniques
- (Maze navigation is possible in Mobile HomeCage Large)
- Compatible with Virtual Reality (in a transparent cage)
- Compact – fits most commercial two-photon set-ups without modifications
- Exceptionally quiet and robust
- Easy transition from in vitro to in vivo to in vigilo (“in awake”)
