Jumpei Matsumoto from the University of Toyama has shared the following about his open-source system, USVCAM, for measuring ultrasound communication in rodents: “Mice frequently use ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) during social interaction. USV...
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...
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...
Ajuwon et al present here an approach to tackle some of the current limitations that exist in the field of behavioral neuroscience with respect to aquatic species research. Tiago Monteiro, one of the authors of this project, shares with us a brief summary of the...
Video analysis of freely-moving animals has become a staple of animal neuroscience research. During the last few years, different software packages for extracting vital information from video recordings of animal behavior have become available. Packages like...
