Rodent drinking behavior is used in numerous task designs, most commonly two-bottle choice tasks, to provide insight into the research question of interest. Typically, measuring the intake of fluids is done by weighing bottles over days, and while several tools have...
There are a number of video-based behavior tracking packages available these days, including several that include methods for pose estimation. Such methods are incredibly powerful for many questions in behavioral neuroscience; however, sometimes a clean, simplified,...
Glen Beane and colleagues from the Kumar Lab at the Jackson Laboratory have developed JABS (JAX Animal Behavior System), an integrated hardware and software system with the purpose of building shared resources for mouse behavior analysis. The Python-based platform...
Theoretical models of neural activity have led to major advances in how we understand the brain in simple and relatively complex behaviors. These models generally rely on synthetic generated data of brain activity and behaviors to be compared with real world...
Advancements in machine learning methods for video analysis have been a crucial development for understanding the neural underpinnings of freely-moving behaviors. Many of these methods emphasize pose estimation and tracking, but options for classifying specific...
