Abstract
Behavioral tests in animal models allow studying the effects of different substances in the central nervous system, test treatments and procedures to various conditions related to the deficit of cognitive functions that occur in both, animals and humans. Consequently, achieve a better understanding of tests, for example, the process of memory, learning and its basic mechanisms.
Being a current need the implementation of technology, provides improvements to the processes of collection, analysis and processing of data from development of tests, making trials more efficient by reducing the study time to the necessary for the execution of the experiment.
In the present work a brief approach is exposed to the behavioral tests carried out in some of the animal models more used in the area of biomedical research and as the technology developed in the area provides tools for the collection and study of the information coming from said tests. through the use of artificial vision systems, computational analysis of animal vocalizations, reading of electrophysiological signals, among others.
Keywords: reading of electrophysiological signals, animal models, behavioral tests, technology, artificial vision.
