After years of service, it is finally time to bring some long-awaited updates to CatWalk XT. With CatWalk XT 10.7 we are preparing our premier gait analysis system for the future with a myriad of quality-of-life improvements. New features like the improved visualizations and 64-bit conversion will move CatWalk XT towards even greater heights.

Recently, Dr. Irina Kovlyagina from the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz held a webinar on her study. Dr. Kovlyagina and her colleagues developed an experimental pipeline to analyze threat anxiety in mice. This pipeline accounts for the differences between the fear response of individual mice. You can still watch the webinar on our website!

MB 2024 was a great success! It united diverse behavioral researchers, focusing on advanced tracking methodologies, neural recording devices, and motion analysis software. High-quality publications are forthcoming, including the proceedings in Current Research in Behavioral Sciences, ensuring the fruitful discussions of the conference carry on!

This blog talks about the challenges of socially housing tethered rodents for continuous monitoring. Noldus’ PhenoTyper 2 with perforated wall dividers allows sensory interaction while accommodating tethering, balancing animal welfare and research needs by reducing stress and aggression. This setup enhances data integrity and animal well-being.

We are thrilled to tell you more about the Noldus Academy, a learning platform aimed at getting the most out of your research through expert training and support. It includes quick start guides, tutorials, and an extensive knowledge base, ensuring a smooth and efficient initiation into using our cutting-edge behavioral research technology.
