Influence of test duration on the sensitivity of the two-bottle choice test.
The long-term two-bottle choice test is commonly used as a simple screen to examine the acceptance of taste solutions by rodents. As part of an investigation of factors influencing the sensitivity of the two-bottle choice test, we determined the extent to which test duration influenced test sensitivity. C57BL6/J and 129X1/SvJ mice received four series of eight two-bottle tests, with each test l...
متن کاملGemvid, an open source, modular, automated activity recording system for rats using digital video
BACKGROUND Measurement of locomotor activity is a valuable tool for analysing factors influencing behaviour and for investigating brain function. Several methods have been described in the literature for measuring the amount of animal movement but most are flawed or expensive. Here, we describe an open source, modular, low-cost, user-friendly, highly sensitive, non-invasive system that records ...
متن کاملAn Open-Source Java Platform for Automated Reaction Mapping
This article presents software applications that have been built upon a modular, open-source, reaction mapping library that can be used in both cheminformatics and bioinformatics research. We first describe the theoretical underpinnings and modular architecture of the core software library. We then describe two applications that have been built upon that core. The first is a generic reaction vi...
متن کاملKinetDS: An Open Source Software for Dissolution Test Data Analysis
Because drug quality is the focus for pharmaceutical industry and regulatory agencies, the in vitro dissolution test becomes a standard tool for characterization of manufactured products. However, results of the dissolution test must be expressed in mathematical terms; this is realized by fitting various models to the cumulative dissolution curves. The models might be either mechanistic or empi...
متن کاملFischer Rats Consume 20% Ethanol in a Long-Term Intermittent-Access Two-Bottle-Choice Paradigm
The 20% ethanol intermittent-access (IAE) two-bottle-choice drinking procedure has been shown to produce high voluntary ethanol consumption in a number of rat strains. For this study, we applied this procedure to male Fischer (F344) rats, a strain previously reported to exhibit low levels of ethanol consumption. We also subjected these animals to a two-week ethanol-deprivation-period to see if ...
