Alzheimer’s disease continues to be one of the most complex and pressing challenges in neuroscience. For researchers dedicated to unraveling its mysteries and developing effective therapies, access to precise, reliable tools is critical. In recognition of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the advanced solutions offered by Data Sciences International (DSI) and Panlab to support Alzheimer’s research from bench to breakthrough.

 

Empowering In Vivo Research with DSI

At the forefront of physiological monitoring, DSI offers a comprehensive suite of tools for studying Alzheimer’s disease in small and large animal models. DSI’s implantable telemetry systems are designed to reduce stress on animals while delivering high-resolution, real-time data.

  • Study disease progression and treatment effects: Monitor ECG, EEG, EMG, blood pressure, temperature, and activity in freely moving animals.
  • Study cognitive decline, sleep, and circadian rhythms: Gain valuable insights into neural dysfunction with high-fidelity EEG/EMG data.
  • Perform Longitudinal Studies: Long-term assessments of Alzheimer’s models without the limitations of traditional tethered systems.

Combine DSI and Panlab Technologies for a Full-Spectrum View of Disease Progression

Imagine capturing both what your subjects do and how their bodies respond simultaneously. While this has long been the gold standard in neuroscience research, technological constraints have made it difficult to achieve. Until now.

The SoHo™ Telemetry System from DSI breaks through these limitations, seamlessly integrating with Panlab’s behavioral systems to create a powerful, unified research solution.

SoHo makes simultaneous behavioral and physiological data collection a reality—unlocking entirely new possibilities for Alzheimer’s models.

With SoHo, You Can:

  • Collect physiological and behavioral data simultaneously—from the same subject, in real time
  • Simplify equipment setups and speed up experiment preparation
  • Gain deeper insight into disease progression, treatment effects, and neural dysfunction
  • Extend data transmission up to 3–5 meters, breaking free from the constraints of one-to-one receiver-implant setups

SoHo’s unmatched flexibility allows you to move beyond traditional lab boundaries, combining wireless telemetry and behavior monitoring in a cohesive, scalable workflow.
