Welcome to the UCLA Rodent Behavioral Testing Core website.

We are a multidisciplinary Core located in the Psychology Department at UCLA. Our goal is to provide facilities and assistance to the research community at UCLA, as well as to outside companies and researchers. The Core provides expertise in the design, implementation, and analysis of behavioral experiments in mice and rats. We provide training on behavioral testing, software use, and data analysis, as well as a start-to-finish full service option performed by BTC staff. This site is designed to provide information for potential users of the Core.
