Everything you need to know about using flexible feeding tubes for rodents

Mouse temperature is one of the easiest things to “handle” while quietly losing control. The main reason is simple: core temperature and surface (skin) temperature answer different questions. If you rely on only one, you get blind spots. This article covers the common monitoring approaches (continuous vs spot-check, core vs surface), shows where each fits (anesthesia, recovery, free-moving studies), and gives a few simple workflow recipes that improve stability without wrecking your throughput.

By combining EMG and ultrasound imaging, neuromechanics research reveals how muscles activate and adapt mechanically and neurally — opening the door to personalized rehabilitation and deeper insights into individual movement signatures.
