Purdue Animal Behavior Core
Purdue Animal Behavior Core
The Purdue Animal Behavior Core (PABC), part of the Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience (PIIN), is a core facility that provides behavioral and physiological assays to aid in preclinical research using in vivo models. Using cutting-edge automated technologies, the facility supports internal and external investigators by providing assistance designing and implementing rodent behavioral tests. The PABC assists in research design, training, data analysis and the writing of grant proposals. The PABC offers a wide range of behavior tests designed to model neurodevelopmental disorders, psychiatric illnesses, neurodegenerative diseases, pain and spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. The PABC will train individuals to perform assays independently or PABC staff can perform the assays in their entirety. The core also offers a testing environment for developing novel devices and new cutting-edge imaging tools to examine brain functioning while the rodent is performing behavioral tasks.
