HuaTeng | Behavioral Neuroscience Platform

Standardized Behavioral Assessment for CNS Research

At HuaTeng Biotechnology, we provide rodent behavioral testing to support preclinical research in CNS drug development and neurobiology. Our platform covers motor, cognitive, emotional and social domains, using validated assays and automated tracking systems to generate reliable and reproducible data.

All studies are conducted using standardised protocols to support both exploratory research and translational programmes.

Core Behavioral Assays

Motor and Exploratory Behavior

We assess locomotion, coordination and general activity levels.

• Open field test (locomotor activity and exploration)
• Rotarod (motor coordination and balance)
• Treadmill analysis (endurance and gait)

Anxiety and Depression Models

We evaluate emotional behaviours relevant to neuropsychiatric disorders.

• Elevated plus maze (anxiety-like behaviour)
• Light/dark box test
• Tail suspension and forced swim tests

Learning and Memory

We assess cognitive function, including spatial and recognition memory.

• Morris water maze
• Radial arm maze
• Novel object recognition

Social and Emotional Behavior

We evaluate social interaction and behavioural responses.

• Three-chamber social interaction test
• Resident–intruder test
• Ultrasonic vocalisation (USV)

Nociception and Sensory Function

We assess pain perception and sensory responses.

• Plantar test (thermal sensitivity)
• Von Frey filaments (mechanical sensitivity)
• Hot and cold plate tests
