A new deep-learning software toolkit with general-purpose methods for quickly and reliably measuring the full body posture of animals directly from images or videos without physical markers.
DeepFly3D, a deep learning-based software, measures limb and appendage movements in tethered, behaving Drosophila and enables precise behavioral measurements during neural recordings, stimulation, and other biological experiments.
The Mouse Action Recognition System is a computational pipeline for automated classification of social behaviors in freely interacting mice, accompanied by a graphical interface for analysis of multimodal neuroscience datasets.

BehaviorDEPOT is a general purpose behavior analysis software that will meet the needs of thousands of behavioral neuroscientists who need accurate, flexible open-source software to analyze naturalistic behaviors and align then with neural data.
Methods for video analysis of behaving animals are described, with guidance provided on setting up the methods in a research laboratory and best practices for experimenters and developers.
An automated touchscreen cognitive testing system for rats reduces the length of training required to learn tasks, making it possible to assess cognitive profiles in adolescent animals to more appropriately capture cognitive deficits in adolescent pathologies, such as anorexia nervosa.
