Dung beetles impressively coordinate their 6 legs to effectively roll large dung balls. They can also roll dung balls varying in the weight on different terrains. The mechanisms underlying how their motor commands are adapted to walk and simultaneous...
Water pollution poses a significant risk to the environment and human health, necessitating the development of innovative detection methods. In this study, a series of representative psychoactive compounds were selected as model pollutants, and a new...
Computer-vision and machine-learning (ML) approaches are being developed to provide scalable, unbiased, and sensitive methods to assess mouse behavior. Here, we used the ML-based variational animal motion embedding (VAME) segmentation platform to ass...
Animals' individual behavior is commonly monitored by live or video observation by a person. This can be labor intensive and inconsistent. An alternative is the use of machine learning-based computer vision systems. The objectives of this study were ...
The novel object recognition test (NORT) is one of the most commonly employed behavioral tests in experimental animals designed to evaluate an animal's interest in and recognition of novelty. However, manual procedures, which rely on researchers' obs...
BACKGROUND: The sophisticated behavioral and cognitive repertoires of non-human primates (NHPs) make them suitable subjects for studies involving cocaine self-administration (SA) schedules. However, ethical considerations, adherence to the 3Rs princi...
Behavior is fundamental to neuroscience research, providing insights into the mechanisms underlying thoughts, actions and responses. Various model organisms, including mice, flies, and fish, are employed to understand these mechanisms. Zebrafish, in ...
Assessing the behaviour and physical attributes of domesticated dogs is critical for predicting the suitability of animals for companionship or specific roles such as hunting, military or service. Common methods of behavioural assessment can be time ...
Providing perches in cage-free (CF) housing offers significant benefits for laying hens, such as improved leg muscle development, bone health, reduced abdominal fat, and decreased fear and aggression. A precise detection method is essential to ensure...
Uncovering the relationships between neural circuits, behavior, and neural dysfunction may require rodent pose tracking. While open-source toolkits such as DeepLabCut have revolutionized markerless pose estimation using deep neural networks, the trai...
