Abstract

HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVE: Rodent models of epilepsy can help with the search for more effective drug candidates or neuromodulatory therapies. Yet, preclinical screening of candidate options for anti-epileptic drugs (AED) using rodent models may require hours of video monitoring. Data processing is also time-consuming, subjective, and error-prone. This study aims to develop an AI-enabled quantitative analysis of rodent behavior, including epilepsy stage classification.
