A virtual library for behavioral performance in standard conditions-rodent spontaneous activity in an open field during repeated testing and after treatment with drugs or brain lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Beyond their specific experiment, video records of behavior have future value-for example, as inputs for new experiments or for yet unknown types of analysis of behavior-similar to tissue or blood sample banks in life sciences where clinically derived or otherwise well-described experimental samples are stored to be available for some unknown potential future purpose.

Findings

Research using an animal model of obsessive-compulsive disorder employed a standardized paradigm where the behavior of rats in a large open field was video recorded for 55 minutes on each test. From 43 experiments, there are 19,976 such trials that amount to over 2 years of continuous recording. In addition to videos, there are 2 video-derived raw data objects: XY locomotion coordinates and
