Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, presents complex motor symptoms and lacks effective disease-modifying treatments. Here we show that integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with optogenetic intervention, termed opt...
Understanding how individual differences influence vulnerability to disease and responses to pharmacological treatments represents one of the main challenges in behavioral neuroscience. Nevertheless, inter-individual variability and sex-specific patt...
Caenorhabditis elegans is a widely used animal model for researching new disease treatments. In recent years, automated methods have been developed to extract mobility phenotypes and analyse, using statistical methods, whether there are differences b...
Social aversion is a key feature of numerous mental health disorders, yet we lack adequate behavioral tools to interrogate social aversion in model systems. Here, we developed a behavioral task-selective access to unrestricted social interaction (SAU...
Data-driven health monitoring based on milk yield has shown potential to identify health-perturbing events during the transition period. As a proof of principle, we explored the association between the cow's residual milk yield, that is, the differen...

In order to understand the role of horses in ecosystems and to effectively use their grazing in the protection of grasslands, it is important to assess where they primarily stay, followed by whether these habitats are used for grazing or resting. The...
Animal behavior is crucial for understanding both normal brain function and dysfunction. To facilitate behavior analysis of mice within their home environments, we developed DeepEthoProfile, an open-source software powered by a deep convolutional neu...
This study extends previous findings by applying artificial intelligence (AI) methods to a larger dataset to identify key features that predict fear reactivity (i.e., immediate reaction to fear inducing stimuli) and fearfulness (i.e., a stable person...
There is mounting evidence for a link between behaviour and the gut microbiome in animal and human health. However, the role of the gut microbiome in the development and severity of behavioural issues in companion dogs is not yet fully understood. He...
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 ...
