Applying deep learning and the ecological home range concept to document the spatial distribution of Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar L.) in experimental tanks.

Scientific reports
Measuring and monitoring fish welfare in aquaculture research relies on the use of outcome- (biotic) and input-based (e.g., abiotic) welfare indicators (WIs). Incorporating behavioural auditing into this toolbox can sometimes be challenging because s...

Deep learning-driven behavioral analysis reveals adaptive responses in Drosophila offspring after long-term parental microplastic exposure.

Journal of environmental management
Microplastics are widely distributed in the environment and pose potential hazards to organisms. However, our understanding of the transgenerational effects of microplastics on terrestrial organisms remains limited. In this study, we focused on the m...

Analysis of Operant Self-administration Behaviors with Supervised Machine Learning: Protocol for Video Acquisition and Pose Estimation Analysis Using DeepLabCut and Simple Behavioral Analysis.

eNeuro
The use of supervised machine learning to approximate poses in video recordings allows for rapid and efficient analysis of complex behavioral profiles. Currently, there are limited protocols for automated analysis of operant self-administration behav...

Machine-Learning-Based Activity Tracking for Individual Pig Monitoring in Experimental Facilities for Improved Animal Welfare in Research.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In experimental research, animal welfare should always be of the highest priority. Currently, physical in-person observations are the standard. This is time-consuming, and results are subjective. Video-based machine learning models for monitoring exp...

Marigold: a machine learning-based web app for zebrafish pose tracking.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: High-throughput behavioral analysis is important for drug discovery, toxicological studies, and the modeling of neurological disorders such as autism and epilepsy. Zebrafish embryos and larvae are ideal for such applications because they ...

Development and applications of a machine learning model for an in-depth analysis of pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure-like behaviors in adult zebrafish.

Neuroscience
Epilepsy, a neurological disorder causing recurring seizures, is often studied in zebrafish by exposing animals to pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), which induces clonic- and tonic-like behaviors. While adult zebrafish seizure-like behaviors are well characte...

High-throughput markerless pose estimation and home-cage activity analysis of tree shrew using deep learning.

Animal models and experimental medicine
BACKGROUND: Quantifying the rich home-cage activities of tree shrews provides a reliable basis for understanding their daily routines and building disease models. However, due to the lack of effective behavioral methods, most efforts on tree shrew be...

Toward collaborative artificial intelligence development for animal well-being.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
This review focuses on opportunities and challenges of future AI developments in veterinary medicine, from the perspective of computer science researchers in developing AI systems for animal behavior analysis. We examine the paradigms of supervised l...

Comparison between AI and human expert performance in acute pain assessment in sheep.

Scientific reports
This study explores the question whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can outperform human experts in animal pain recognition using sheep as a case study. It uses a dataset of N = 48 sheep undergoing surgery with video recordings taken before (no pai...

Machine learning and confirmatory factor analysis show that buprenorphine alters motor and anxiety-like behaviors in male, female, and obese C57BL/6J mice.

Journal of neurophysiology
Buprenorphine is an opioid approved for medication-assisted treatment of opioid use disorder. Used off-label, buprenorphine has been reported to contribute to the clinical management of anxiety. Although human anxiety is a highly prevalent disorder, ...
