Summary
This study compared aging-related motor, thermal, anxiety, and cognitive changes in group-housed male C57BL/6J and 129S2/SvPasCrl mice. Older mice were less active and showed weaker anticipatory behavior, while 129S2 mice were more anxious and adapted more slowly than the more flexible C57BL/6J strain. Mouse Matrix and IntelliCage platforms used RFID, including UID UCT-2112 temperature microchips, for continuous home-cage measurements.
