SLEAP: A deep learning system for multi-animal pose tracking
Nature Methods, 2022 The desire to understand how the brain generates and patterns behavior has driven rapid methodological innovation in tools to quantify natural animal behavior. While advances in deep learning and computer vision have enabled markerless pose estimation in

Assessing Mongolian gerbil emotional behavior: effects of two shock intensities and response-independent shocks during an extended inhibitory-avoidance task [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Despite step-down inhibitory avoidance procedures that have been widely implemented in rats and mice to study learning and emotion phenomena, performance of other species in these tasks has received less attention.

Laparotomy and burst suppression-inducing sevoflurane induce subtle long-term changes in anxiety and social behavior in late postnatal mice [PDF]
Korean Journal of AnesthesiologyBackground Despite strong preclinical evidence, clinical studies have reported minimal effects of early anesthesia on neurodevelopment. This discrepancy may be due to limitations of preclinical studies, including the absence of clear criteria for ...

Beach balls: Assessing frustration tolerance in young children using a computerized task
Acta Psychologica, 2022 Frustration tolerance is a skill related to emotional regulation processes and is important insofar as it affects people's social relationships and even health. Low levels of frustration tolerance in children have been associated with a greater number of

Interaction ruling animal collective behavior depends on topological rather than metric distance: Evidence from a field study [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2007 Numerical models indicate that collective animal behavior may emerge from simple local rules of interaction among the individuals. However, very little is known about the nature of such interaction, so that models and theories mostly rely on aprioristic ...
