Forced Swim Test: A Leading Method for Evaluating Depression in Animal Models
The Forced Swim Test stands as the predominant method for assessing depression in animal models. It’s particularly effective for gauging the behavioral effects of antidepressant drugs. San Diego Instruments enhances this test’s efficiency by designing it to integrate seamlessly with the BehaviorCloud video tracking system. Whether you choose top or side placement for the camera, our system adapts.
