Social Defeat Stress Test SDS Mode
A mode for conducting social behavior tests based on social defeat stress widely used overseas.
The SDS (Social Defeat Stress) mode is a newly introduced mode in the behavior analysis device SCANET. It is a device used for social behavior testing based on social defeat stress, which is widely used overseas as a model experiment for depression. In the social defeat stress test, mice are cohabited in a cage with larger mice, which induces depression-related behaviors such as social avoidance (withdrawal) and anhedonia. The behavior of the mice is measured after they are subjected to stress from the larger mice. 【System Configuration】 ■ SCANET MV-40 (with SDS mode) ■ Software (with dedicated notebook PC) ■ Cage (assembly-type cage, SDS-specific cage) *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
