Conference

Society for Neuroscience

Thank you for visiting us at Neuroscience 2024. We had a great time, and talked to even more of you than we hoped for. It was busy at booth #525, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We heard many research stories, and shared new and upcoming innovations of our own. Here's a small recap of what we showed in our booth.

$500! – WINNERS

We’ve asked you to send in your presentation at Neuroscience 2024 if you have done research with Noldus tools (like EthoVision XT, CatWalk XT, DanioVision or PhenoTyper). Many of you did! As a result, we compiled a nice program book that was available in our booth #525.

Of course we also picked two winners! The lucky ones are Nilanjana Saferin and Hoi Kei Choi!

Nilanjana Saferin from the University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences is presenting a poster titled: Effect of developmental pyrethroid exposure in prairie voles as a model of neurodevelopmental disorders.
October 6th between 9.00 AM - 10.00 AM in MCP hall A PSTR052.18 / A34)

Hoi Kei Choi from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is presenting a poster titled: COVID-like immune challenge as a risk for Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline.
October 9th between 4:00 PM - 05:00 PM in MCP hall A (PSTR456.04 / E17)

Both winners have been contacted. Congratulations!

NEW: CatWalk XT 10.7

CatWalk XT is already the premier gait analysis system used by researchers around the world and published in the highest impact papers. With CatWalk XT 10.7 and its important new features, you will have an even more robust and powerful system. The best part, this update is totally free for anyone with an active NoldusCare subscription of CatWalk XT or an active CatWalk XT 10 license.

New features in CatWalk XT 10.7:

  • Digital license: No more need for a physical dongle, providing reliable access to your software.
  • 64-bit conversion: More memory is available, allowing longer video recordings. This is especially beneficial for studies with severely impaired rodents that take longer to complete a run.
  • Enhanced data analysis: Improved phase dispersion and paw coupling analysis, now visualized in circular graphs. This presentation reduces interpretation errors and includes both angular deviation and standard deviation metrics.

Upgrade to CatWalk XT 10.7 and experience these powerful new features to enhance your research capabilities.

Are you already using PhenoTyper 2?

Phenotyper 2 cage

Last year we are released the new PhenoTyper 2 Top Unit. A top plate that contains both infrared (IR) and white light and designed to fit additional modules to suit your study.

The center space is intended for a camera, that you can easily switch out according to your needs. Fiberoptics (optogenetics) or cables (mini microscope) can be fed through a hole in the central module.

The additional eight spaces around can be used for a variety of modules, such as sound and light. These are not yet available, but will be in the future. Third party and private users can also develop there own modules if one desires

The new top unit is fully backwards compatible and will fit with the old PhenoTyper walls and add-ons.
