As neuroscience pushes the boundaries of understanding the brain’s complexity, mouse and rat models remain essential for uncovering the neural foundations of behavior, cognition, and disease. At PhenoSys, we create next-generation tools that accelerate discovery—combining precision engineering with scientific insight. Our advanced solutions, like the Mini2P miniature two-photon microscope for high-resolution calcium imaging and the JetBall virtual reality system for precise, real-time neural stimulation, are designed to meet the evolving needs of top-tier research. From applications across circuit dynamics to behavioral phenotyping and translational disease models, PhenoSys offers turnkey, scalable, modular systems that enhance data quality, streamline workflows, and preserve naturalistic behavior—empowering researchers to go further, faster.

Partners
Fueled by continuous innovation and strong collaborative bonds, PhenoSys empowers the global neuroscience community to explore the depths of brain and behavior. Our solutions directly fuel ground-breaking discoveries, empowering researchers worldwide to achieve transformative insights.
The virtual reality system from Phenosys allows us to perform stable electrophysiological recordings with glass electrodes and silicon probes from mice running on a jet ball. The combination of visual, olfactory and auditory stimuli combined with an online read-out of behavioural actions makes this system an ideal tool to study neuronal circuits in the operating brain. We have been successfully using this system to study gamma oscillations, place cells and spatial navigation in the hippocampus (Lasztoczi and Klausberger, Neuron 2014; Lasztoczi and Klausberger, Neuron 2016).
