A group of passionate enrichment advocates from academia and industry are the spark for this effort to ignite and excite the laboratory animal community from top to bottom. Lots of people talk about environmental enrichment. We want to document what people are doing to foster lab environments that foster species-typical behaviors environmental enrichment.

The Xenopus Model Welfare Organization will make the use of xenopus as a model organism better by promoting model specific, species specific knowledge and making that knowledge readily available to all stakeholders, including researchers, animal care supervisors, veterinarians, IACUC’s, and government oversight entities. It will influence the care, well-being, and welfare of xenopus as a model for years to come. It will be a compassionate entity that supports the care of xenopus frogs in research institutions and supports the people using xenopus by promoting science based, practical knowledge that can be used by all.
Welcome to this NC3Rs wiki on refinement of the use of chronic implants in neuroscience research using NHPs.
Here you can read, post and edit practical information on the design, implantation and maintenance of headposts, recording chambers and other implants. The wiki also includes information on non-invasive approaches to head restraint.
Xenbase's mission is to provide the international research community with a comprehensive, integrated and easy to use web based resource that gives access the diverse and rich genomic, expression and functional data available from Xenopus research. Xenbase also provides a critical data sharing infrastructure for many other NIH-funded projects, and is a focal point for the Xenopus community. In addition to our primary goal of supporting Xenopus researchers, Xenbase enhances the availability and visibility of Xenopus data to the broader biomedical research community.
