Neuro-Bsik Mouse Phenomics

Website: http://www.neurobsik.nl/

Neuro-Bsik is a consortium of several Dutch universities and two companies which has the goal to improve the management and treatment of brain disorders by identifying and phenotyping mouse models that can be used to develop therapies for such diseases.
Noldus plays a key-role in the development and implementation of a novel, automated yet intelligent High Throughput Phenotyping screening technology that makes it possible to select a single relevant mutant from a collection of thousands. Noldus designed for this reason the PhenoTyper®; a complete video-based observation system with integrated visual, acoustic and rewarding stimuli, suitable for automated analysis of several test paradigms.
