Improving the practicality of using non-aversive handling methods to reduce background stress and anxiety in laboratory mice

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Kelly Gouveia and colleagues from the University of have published the research work: Improving the practicality of using non-aversive handling methods to reduce background stress and anxiety in laboratory mice, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: To establish the most practical but effective implementation of non-aversive handling, here the authors investigate the impact of hold duration when animals are picked up (Experiment 1), and the frequency of handling (Experiment 2), on the response of mice to tunnel or cup handling compared to tail handling. The authors show that the brief . . .
