Protocol to study circadian food-anticipatory poking in mice using the feeding experimentation device version 3
Method to study how mice anticipate feeding times using an automated feeding device
AI simplified
Abstract
Food-anticipatory nose poking in mice is a unique behavior associated with the food-entrainable oscillator.
- This behavior occurs under conditions of temporally restricted feeding followed by food deprivation.
- The protocol outlines steps for training and habituating mice to the feeding device.
- Data generation involves creating ethograms from the nose poking behavior recorded by the device.
- The findings may indicate a complex interaction between feeding schedules and the biological clock.
