Until recently, researchers interested in studying spatial navigation and memory in awake mice relied solely on a combination of an airlifted ball and virtual reality (VR). The Mobile HomeCage Large offers an alternative approach. It allows studying awake head-fixed mice while they navigate in real tangible mazes. In this webinar, Prof. Simon Schultz (Imperial College […] Read more »

Canceled: Stop by our FENS booth # 97 in Glasgow, UK, on July 11-15, 2020
The Mobile HomeCage story started at FENS 2014 in Milan, Italy. That year we showed the very first version of our solution for 2-photon imaging and electrophysiological recordings in awake behaving mice. Stop by our booth # 97 at FENS 2020 in Glasgow, UK, to see how we have developed the Mobile HomeCage for greater […] Read more »
Canceled: Neurotar visiting Mobile HomeCage user labs in Paris, mid-March 2020
In the middle of March, we are visiting several user labs in Paris and meeting new labs interested in using the Mobile HomeCage for 2-photon imaging and electrophysiological recordings in awake mice. Want to schedule a demo or join us during one of the lab visits? – Contact Viktoria.
Webinar alert: place cell mapping and stress monitoring in awake head-fixed mice. October 10, 2019
Tune in on October 10, 2019 (11 am EDT) to learn about the research done by two more Mobile HomeCage user labs. Dr. Ann Go (Imperial College London) is talking about 2-photon imaging of hippocampal place cells and Dr. Konrad Juczewski (NIH-NIAAA) – about stress monitoring in awake head-fixed mice. Follow this link to registration. […] Read more »
Meet us at SfN in Chicago on October 20-23, 2019 (booth 443)
This year, we worked hard on integrating complex behavioral readouts with 2-photon imaging and electrophysiological recording in the Mobile HomeCage. Come and see how far we have come! We are at booth 443: when you go to Thorlabs to pick up your T-shirt (doesn’t everybody do it?), turn around and look for a bright orange […] Read more »
