SuperVogel drinking water conflict experimental system

• Experimental Principle

SuperVogel drinking water conflict experimental systemVogel Conflict Drinking is a device used to detect the severity of animal anxiety. In 1971, Vogelts et al. pioneered an experimental model of drinking water shock conflict. The Vogelts drinking water conflict experiment revealed a special relationship between anxiety and drinking water conflict. The Vogel's drinking conflict test is a conditioned reflex anxiety model that primarily utilizes the conflict between the thirst for water in water deprived animals and the fear of electric stimulation during drinking. Animals with anxiety significantly reduce the number of times they lick water and receive electric shocks.

• Product description

The SuperVogel drinking water conflict system has designed a series of classic and sophisticated experimental paradigms based on experimental principles. The system can conduct experiments on 1-16 experimental animals simultaneously.

SuperVogel uses a self-designed and developed learning algorithm to detect animals' drinking behavior in real-time, and exports the data to an Excel spreadsheet in real-time,It can be widely used in experimental teaching and antidepressant research in medical colleges, secondary vocational schools, and research institutions.SuperVogel drinking water conflict experimental system
