Evaluation of a user‐friendly <scp>CSDS</scp> cage apparatus for studying depressive‐like behaviors in rodents
The CSDS cage apparatus was validated for enhanced usability and addressed the previous challenges of water bottle leakage and lab rodent welfare issues. The consistent results from multiple behavioral tests also supported real-world application of the apparatus, offering researchers a promising alternative to conventional rodent cages.
