CaT-z: 3D Tracking and Automatic Classification of Rodent Behavior

CaT-z: 3D Tracking and Automatic Classification of Rodent Behavior

In behavioral neuroscience, analyzing animal behavior is a key component to many experiments, but relying on manually scoring behaviors pose issues in reproducibility. In resolution, most have turned to computerized video-analysis systems that combine 2D images with...

Video analysis and tracking methods have become increasingly important in behavioral neuroscience research. Although several tools have been highly developed for diverse use, most of the improvements have been made for tracking in 2D images. Timo Hueser and colleagues...
Modular LED Displays

Modular LED Displays

Visual stimuli are an effective way to study brain function and behavior in all animals. Specialized LED displays have become an increasingly popular tool in neuroscience experiments. However, commercial LEDs have primarily been designed and optimized for use in...
