TL;DR: The rotatable turnstile as discussed by the authors is an example of a housing system for high-throughput animal experiments, which includes a home cage, at least one rotatable turning-stile enclosed by housing to form two or more isolation chambers, a means for animal identification, and one or more action stations functionally coupled to one of the isolation chambers.

TL;DR: The authors investigated whether the motivation of gestating sows for access to an enriched group pen and their behavior while in the pen, would differ due to social status, and found that regardless of social status sows were able to access enrichments and valued an enrichment group pen.

TL;DR: Nesting material helps nude mice behaviourally thermoregulate, reducing heat loss to the environment, and this reduction would improve feed conversion as well as breeding performance, and shows that good welfare can be good business and good science.

TL;DR: Dietary elevation of brain serotonin unexpectedly increased hair pulling and induced ulcerative dermatitis in a mouse model of trichotillomania, and is proposed as model of compulsive skin-picking.

TL;DR: Trichotillomania is currently classified as an impulse control disorder not otherwise classified, whereas body-focused behaviors other than hair-pulling may be diagnosed as stereotypic movement disorder.
