Refining behavioral testing in mice

In our lab, we are working to perfect a series of behavioral tests in mice designed to evaluate anxiety-like behavior, memory performance, and locomotor activity. These tests are essential tools in neuroscience research, enabling us to better understand brain function, model neurological disorders, and assess the effects of genetic or environmental manipulations.

Each test provides distinct insights, and when used in combination, they offer a more comprehensive behavioral profile. We are currently fine-tuning our protocols to ensure reproducibility, reduce variability, and minimize stress on the animals—key steps toward high-quality and ethical research.

Brain Awareness Day

On March 19, 2025, the NCL team proudly co-organized Brain Awareness Day, welcoming visitors to our lab! We enthusiastically shared our research on the nervous system, sparking curiosity and fostering a deeper appreciation for neuroscience. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, inspire, and share our passion for understanding the complexities of the brain.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us! 🧠💡

Funding

New grant! (December 2024) Dr. Soueid has been awarded a seed grant from the Faculty of Medicine- AUB to start investigating PSP in the Lebanese population. This project is in collaboration with Dr. Hassan Doumiati (neurologist at AUBMC).

Conference

We will be presenting our projects at the 7th European Zebrafish Principal Investigators Meeting in Paris, April 2-5 2025.
