Automated tracking and analysis of behavior in restrained insects
BACKGROUND Insect behavior is often monitored by human observers and measured in the form of binary responses. This procedure is time costly and does not allow a fine graded measurement of behavioral performance in individual animals. To overcome this limitation, we have developed a computer vision system which allows the automated tracking of body parts of restrained insects. NEW METHOD Our ...
متن کاملApparatus for studying behavior and learning in restrained rats.
A new treadmill/stand apparatus for a rat is described. It will be useful in behavioral experiments when control of the animal's position in the training chamber is required while considerable freedom of movement, including locomotion, is desired. The position and distance relative to sources of stimuli are thus kept constant. The speed and the distance of ambulation are easily monitored. The r...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental influences on restrained eating behavior.
OBJECTIVE We examined the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences to restrained eating. METHOD Restrained eating was assessed by the Restraint Scale in a survey mailed to all twins enrolled in the University of Washington Twin Registry. We used structural equation modeling to estimate genetic and nongenetic contributions to restrained eating. RESULTS 1,196 monozygotic...
متن کاملMechanisms of motivation in avoidance behavior.
The mechanisms involved in avoidance behavior are discussed. It is assumed that the conditioned stimulus (CS) activates the memory pattern of associations related to the former applications of the unconditioned stimulus (US) and, as a result, produces an undesirable sensory state. This activates another memory pattern of associations related to the avoidance response and the postponement of the...
متن کاملTornadic Storm Avoidance Behavior in Breeding Songbirds
Migration is a common behavior used by animals of many taxa to occupy different habitats during different periods. Migrant birds are categorized as either facultative (i.e., those that are forced to migrate by some proximal cue, often weather) or obligate (i.e., those that migrate on a regular cycle). During migration, obligate migrants can curtail or delay flights in response to inclement weat...
