Behavior provides important insights into neuronal processes. For example, analysis of
reaching movements can give a reliable indication of the degree of impairment in
neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson disease, or Huntington disease. The
analysis of such movement abnormalities is notoriously difficult and requires a trained
evaluator. Here, we show that a deep neural network is able to score behavioral
impairments with expert accuracy in rodent models of stroke. The same network was also …
