Quantification of locomotor activity in larval zebrafish: Considerations for the design of high-throughput behavioral studies

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
High-throughput behavioral studies using larval zebrafish often assess locomotor activity to determine the effects of experimental perturbations.

Visualization of the existence of LEAP2 in the nucleus accumbens and its role in amphetamine-induced locomotor activity [PDF]

Molecular Brain
The nucleus accumbens (NAcc) is a key brain region in reward circuitry, mediating responses to psychostimulants, such as amphetamine (AMPH), including locomotor activity.

Dynamical model of aperiodic locomotor activity effects on mouse core body temperature removes transient perturbations from longitudinal temperature signals [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Mammalian temperature changes across time due to multiple endogenous and exogenous factors including circadian rhythms, hormonal changes, and locomotor activity.

Analysis of ultradian rest-activity rhythms using locomotor activity in mice [PDF]

Kosin Medical Journal, 2022
Background Locomotor activity in mice may have an ultradian rest-activity rhythm. However, to date, no study has shown how locomotor activity can be explained statistically using fitted cosine curves.

Thermographic imaging of mouse across circadian time reveals body surface temperature elevation associated with non-locomotor body movements.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Circadian clocks orchestrate multiple different physiological rhythms in a well-synchronized manner. However, how these separate rhythms are interconnected is not exactly understood.

Circadian Rhythms of Locomotor Activity Mediated by Cryptochrome 2 and Period 1 Genes in the Termites Reticulitermes chinensis and Odontotermes formosanus

Insects, 2023
Locomotor activity rhythms are crucial for foraging, mating and predator avoidance in insects. Although the circadian rhythms of activity have been studied in several termite species, the molecular mechanisms of circadian rhythms in termites are still ...

Locomotor activity: A distinctive index in morphine self-administration in rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Self-administration of addictive drugs is a widely used tool for studying behavioral, neurobiological, and genetic factors in addiction. However, how locomotor activity is affected during self-administration of addictive drugs has not been extensively ...

Locomotor behaviour of Blattella germanica modified by DEET. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) is the active principle of most insect repellents used worldwide. However, its toxicity on insects has not been widely studied.

Artificial diet alters activity and rest patterns in the olive fruit fly.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Olive fruit flies, Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) reared in the laboratory on an artificial diet are essential for the genetic control techniques against this pest. However, the colony's laboratory adaptation can affect the quality of the reared

Aging reveals a role for nigral tyrosine hydroxylase ser31 phosphorylation in locomotor activity generation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) regulates dopamine (DA) bioavailability. Its product, L-DOPA, is an established treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD), suggesting that TH regulation influences locomotion. Site-specific phosphorylation of TH at ser31
