Wire Beam Bridge
Objective: Measures risk-taking behavior in mice
This is a Wire Beam Bridge protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2026 paper published in Psychopharmacology (Berl).

Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Pre-test preparation
Begin testing mice from postnatal day 58 onwards as part of behavioral battery
Note: Part of battery including anxiety-like, stress coping, anhedonia-like, risk-taking, and social motivation tests
View evidence from paper
“From PD58, mice were challenged with a battery of tests to measure anxiety-like (elevated plus maze, open field test), stress coping (forced swim test, tail suspension test), anhedonia-like (sucrose preference), risk-taking behaviour (wire beam bridge), and social motivation”
Wire beam bridge test
Conduct wire beam bridge test to measure risk-taking behavior
