We developed an affordable, open-source platform for studying mouse fine motor skills in a reach-to-grasp task. This reproducible system includes hardware, training protocols, and software for analyzing forepaw kinematics.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Behavioral Science
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Studying fine motor skills is crucial for understanding neurological disorders.
- Existing platforms for rodent behavioral analysis can be expensive and inaccessible.
Conclusions:
- The presented open-source platform offers a cost-effective and reproducible method for studying fine motor control in mice.
- This solution facilitates research into the neural basis of motor skills and related disorders.
- Accessible hardware and software enable wider adoption and advancement in the field.
