Example of how anxiety is measured in laboratory mice. The mouse is free to move in the lit area and to excape in the dark chamber. Anxiolytic drugs usually increase the permanence time in the lit area and the number of light-dark transitions. All the session is videorecorded and automatically tracked. In our device up to 4 mice can be tested.
