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...
Evan Destin-van Rijn and colleagues in Alik Widge’s Translational NeuroEngineering Lab at the University of Minnesota recently shared their preprint on their new Python-based framework, Pybehave with us. Pybehave is a Python-based framework for designing and...
Kartikeya Murari and colleagues at the University of Calgary published their video-based tool, Markerless Mouse Tracking, in an eNeuro publication in February 2024. Behavior quantification of multiple interacting animals is often done by tools that are not accurate...
Gabriele Chelini and colleagues at The University of Trento, under the mentorship of Yuri Bozzi, introduce SEB3R, an automated method for tracking mouse body language and studying emotional behaviors. SEB3R quickly identifies different postures of mice and associates...
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...
