The reach-to-grasp task is commonly used to study fine motor behavior in mice because of the translatability of the movement’s neurocircuitry to humans and non-human primates. Daniil Berezhnoi and colleagues have developed ReachOut, a project that includes all of the...
The use of video analysis techniques have transformed our understanding of animal behavior. Recently, members of the Datta Lab have developed tools to parse out mouse behavior into sub-second motifs. First, Sherry Lin and colleagues introduced Depth MoSeq, an...
Nicolas Torquet, one of the developers of LiveMouseTracker (LMT), has shared the following about the new addition to the video tracking system package: LMT-toolkit, developed for facilitation of LMT-based data analysis: “LMT-toolkit is an open source web...
Tony Fong and colleagues recently published their project, PyMouseTracks (PMT). PMT is an open source, scalable and customizable system for tracking and behavior assessment, available now on GitHub. PyMouseTracks is an open source, adaptable tracking system for...
