Video tracking for automated detection and quantification of complex behaviors in mice.

Awardee: Hadley Bergstrom

Semester of Award: Spring 2016

Materials Awarded: SMART 3.0 video tracking software (Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, MA)

Project Description:

We used the SMART 3.0 video tracking software in my lab to automatically detect and quantify behaviors related to defensive states in rodents. Nearly all of the students conducting independent projects in my lab have incorporated the software for analyzing data. This has led to multiple conference presentations including the submission of an original research article for publication in a peer-reviewer journal.

“Cued Fear Memory Generalization Increases Over Time.” Pollack G, Bezek J, Lee S, Scarlata M, Weingast L, Bergstrom H. submitted to Learning & Memory.

“Neuronal Correlates of Cued Fear Memory Discrimination and Generalization over time.” Bezek J, Pollack G, Lee S, Scarlata M, Weingast L, Bergstrom H (2017). Poster presentation at the Society for Neuroscience Conference, Washington DC

“Chronic alcohol after fear extinction augments cued freezing.” Dishart J, Hiller A, Mintz G, Wang Z, Lee S, Scarlata M, Bergstrom H (2017). Poster presentation at the Society for Neuroscience Conference, Washington DC
