Machine learning-based model for behavioural analysis in rodents applied to the forced swim test.

Scientific reports
The Forced Swim Test (FST) is a widely used preclinical model for assessing antidepressant efficacy, studying stress response, and evaluating depressive-like behaviours in rodents. Over the last 10 years, more than 5500 scientific articles reporting ...

Cold receptor TRPM8 as a target for migraine-associated pain and affective comorbidities.

The journal of headache and pain
BACKGROUND: Genetic variations in the Trpm8 gene that encodes the cold receptor TRPM8 have been linked to protection against polygenic migraine, a disabling condition primarily affecting women. Noteworthy, TRPM8 has been recently found in brain areas...

A library of lineage-specific driver lines connects developing neuronal circuits to behavior in the ventral nerve cord.

eLife
Understanding developmental changes in neuronal lineages is crucial to elucidate how they assemble into functional neural networks. Studies investigating nervous system development in model systems have only focused on select regions of the CNS due t...

Continuous automated analysis of facial dynamics of brachycephalic and normocephalic dogs in different contexts.

BMC veterinary research
This study develops a novel automated method for measuring continuous dynamics of dog facial behavior based on video-based tracking of 46 facial landmarks grounded in the Dog Facial Action Coding System. This method is applied for comparing the facia...

Preliminary Development of a Database for Detecting Active Mounting Behaviors Using Signals Acquired from IoT Collars in Free-Grazing Cattle.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This study presents the development of a database for detecting active mounts, utilizing IoT collars equipped with Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) installed on eight Holstein Friesian cows, along with video recordings from a long-range PTZ camera m...

Anti-drift pose tracker (ADPT), a transformer-based network for robust animal pose estimation cross-species.

eLife
Deep learning-based methods have advanced animal pose estimation, enhancing accuracy, and efficiency in quantifying animal behavior. However, these methods frequently experience tracking drift, where noise-induced jumps in body point estimates compro...

Swimming in the "Matrix": VR fish pass the Turing test using a simple control law for collective behavior.

Science robotics
Immersive virtual reality reveals that a simple control model from fish schooling can be used to control autonomous vehicles.

Reverse engineering the control law for schooling in zebrafish using virtual reality.

Science robotics
Revealing the evolved mechanisms that give rise to collective behavior is a central objective in the study of cellular and organismal systems. In addition, understanding the algorithmic basis of social interactions in a causal and quantitative way of...

Honeybee colony soundscapes: Decoding distance-based cues and environmental stressors.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Honey bees play a crucial role in agricultural productivity and ecological stability, yet their interactions with environmental stressors, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pollutants, pose significant challenges to their cognitive f...

Using deep learning models to decode emotional states in horses.

Scientific reports
In this study, we explore machine learning models for predicting emotional states in ridden horses. We manually label the images to train the models in a supervised manner. We perform data exploration and use different cropping methods, mainly based ...
