The brain is worthy of study because it is in charge of behavior. A flurry of recent technical
advances in measuring and quantifying naturalistic behaviors provide an important …

Animal behaviour is remarkably sensitive to disruption by chemical pollution, with
widespread implications for ecological and evolutionary processes in contaminated wildlife …

Quantitative aspects of the study of animal and human behaviour are increasingly relevant
to test hypotheses and find empirical support for them. At the same time, photo and video …

Complex animal behaviors are likely built from simpler modules, but their systematic
identification in mammals remains a significant challenge. Here we use depth imaging to …

The new field of" Computational Ethology" is made possible by advances in technology,
mathematics, and engineering that allow scientists to automate the measurement and the …

We show that a natural behavior, exploration of a novel environment, causes DNA double-
strand breaks (DSBs) in neurons of young adult wild-type mice. DSBs occurred in multiple …

An ageing world population has fuelled interest in regenerative remedies that may stem
declining organ function and maintain fitness. Unanswered is whether elimination of intrinsic …

A lack of automated, quantitative, and accurate assessment of social behaviors in
mammalian animal models has limited progress toward understanding mechanisms …

The need for automating behavioral observations and the evolution of systems developed
for that purpose is outlined. Video tracking systems enable researchers to study behavior in …

The assessment of rodent behavior forms a cornerstone of preclinical assessment in
neuroscience research. Nonetheless, the true and almost limitless potential of behavioral …
