DeepBhvTracking: A Novel Behavior Tracking Method for Laboratory Animals Based on Deep Learning.

ABSTRACT: Behavioral measurement and evaluation are broadly used to understand brain functions in neuroscience, especially for investigations of movement disorders, social deficits, and mental diseases. Numerous commercial software and open-source programs have been developed for tracking the movement of laboratory animals, allowing animal behavior to be analyzed digitally. In vivo optical imaging and electrophysiological recording in freely behaving animals are now widely used to understand neural functions in circuits. However, it is always a challenge to accurately track the movement of an animal under certain complex conditions due to uneven environment illumination, variations in animal models, and interference from recording devices and experimenters. To overcome these challenges, we ha
