Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Pharmacology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Monitoring mouse behavior is crucial for developing new pharmacotherapies.
  • Accurate behavioral analysis aids in understanding drug effects and characterizing phenotypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, automated method for detecting and recording fine motor behaviors in mice using a touch display device.
  • To assess the utility of this system in standard behavioral tests like open field and light-dark paradigms.

Main Methods:

  • A consumer-grade tablet (MouseTrapp) was integrated into an acrylic cage, allowing mice to walk on its surface.
  • The system was utilized for open field tests to measure locomotor activity (step length, velocity) and light-dark tests to assess anxiety-related behaviors.

Main Results:

  • The MouseTrapp system detected increased locomotor activity in mice treated with amphetamine and an opioid agonist (SNC80).
  • Amphetamine administration resulted in increased step velocity, indicating sensitivity to subtle drug effects.
  • Mice exhibited a significant preference for the dark side in the light-dark test (74% of time spent).

Conclusions:

  • The MouseTrapp system's motion detection correlated strongly with traditional video analysis of quadrant crosses.
  • This touch display technology represents a significant advancement towards automated behavioral analysis for drug discovery and phenotype characterization.
