Abstract excerpt
Assessing locomotor behavior is a standard methodology to characterize the behavioral phenotype of a genetic manipulation. Typically, levels of locomotor activity are measured using various methods that are based on the frequency of photobeam breaks or distance traveled as assessed by video-tracking systems. Locomotor behavior, however, is multi-dimensional and reflects the combined influences of multiple...
