The Mobile HomeCage allows the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to conduct behavioral experiments while calcium signals, indicating neuronal activities, from the mouse brain are being recorded. To understand behavioral functions of neural activity, NIDA requires a behavioral device that fulfills two major needs. First, it is necessary to measure conditioned (operant and Pavlovian) behavioral responses and neural activities from the same subject at the same time. Second, the mouse must be able to produce behavioral responses while being head-fixed for the two-photon calcium-imaging recording.
