🐭 What really drives ingestive behavior?   Meal patterns. Bout structure. Circadian rhythms. Capturing these signatures needs systems built for continuous, undisturbed observation.   Visit our booth at SSIB 2026 (August 5–9) to see how our automated home-cage platforms track feeding and drinking behavior in freely moving mice and rats - with the precision your research demands.   Because every lever press, every drop, every midnight snack tells a story worth measuring.    #SSIB2026 #IngestiveBehavior #Neuroscience #RodentResearch #TSESystems
