Research methods
Main content
The research group has long experience with animal models, mostly rats, and听use modern laboratory facilities which meet international standards and demands within animal research. This includes a large range of behavioral testing equipment, equipment for biochemical and histological analyses, neurophysiological laboratory measurements of EEG/EMG, telemetry and extracellular stimulation and recording.
