TopScan Suite

Posted by & filed under .

TopScan is a general purpose Top‐view based behavior analysis system and was the first to use animal body parts (since 2002) to provide the most accurate behavior analysis results possible. It is applicable to a wide range of experiments, from the most basic animal tracking task to more complicated tasks such as Novel Object Recognition […]

DrugEffectScan is an optional module for TopScan that is a powerful and effective tool for detecting  commonly occurring behaviors of animals under drug effects: head waving and darting. DrugEffectScan provides several measures for the detection of head waving including:  number of times the head turns to the left, number of times the head turns to […]


LocoScan

Analysis of Locomotor behavior in rodents is a common and important measure in preclinical research studies. Locomotion experiments are used to test the levels of activity of the animals, rhythms of their movements including randomness, inclination to stay close to the walls (thigmotaxis) or move closer to the center of the arena etc. Often drugs […]

In behavior research area, many researchers want to study both the activity and life pattern of an animal at the same time. General speaking, activity can be best quantified through top view analysis (e.g., locomotion), while side view analysis provides much more detailed information on animal circadian rhythm (e.g., home cage behaviors like, eat, drink, […]
