Abstract: Featured are various devices, apparatuses and systems for use in connection with animal studies or experimentation as well as methods related thereto. Such devices, apparatuses and systems include a scalable animal enclosure that is easily customized for a given application; a scalable and easily customizable sound attenuation chamber that can be used with such an animal enclosure; an olfactory discrimination system which can quickly delivery an odor to an animal while minimizing the potential for ambient contamination and a leak-free water delivery apparatus that provides a mechanism for the experimenter to determine water consumption without handling the device.
