Automated behavior,
across the field.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis models such as SOD1-G93A track progressive motor neuron loss, where the key question is when deficits begin and how fast they progress.

What we automate: Gait and paw placement, stride and stance timing, rotarod performance and posture, tracked in the same animal across sessions to catch onset earlier.

Characterizing new strains, knockouts and disease models across many behaviors at once, usually where the effect you'll find isn't known in advance.

What we automate: Full-body pose, posture, locomotion and behavior classification from every session, giving a broad, consistent profile of each animal.

Fracture-healing studies need to know when an injured limb returns to normal use, not only what the X-ray shows.

What we automate: Stride, stance time and gait asymmetry between injured and uninjured limbs, measured throughout recovery.

Paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, vincristine and related agents cause sensory neuropathy that limits cancer treatment, and preclinical work hinges on reliable sensory readouts.

What we automate: Von Frey and Hargreaves responses scored with posture and paw-withdrawal detail, plus guarding and gait changes between tests.

Persistent pain is poorly captured by evoked reflex tests alone; spontaneous, ongoing pain behavior is the more relevant signal.

What we automate: Spontaneous pain behaviors such as guarding, licking and flinching, alongside evoked mechanical and thermal tests.

Behavioral endpoints decide which compounds advance, yet they're often hand-scored, slow and hard to compare across studies.

What we automate: Consistent, blinded scoring across cohorts, sites and time points, with dose-response readouts from posture, gait and behavior.

An ethogram catalogs what an animal does and for how long, a foundation for many studies that is tedious to score by hand.

What we automate: Frame-by-frame classification of behaviors such as walking, rearing, grooming and resting, with bout counts and durations.

After injury, stroke or treatment, the question is whether normal function returns and how completely.

What we automate: Longitudinal gait, posture and motor measures in the same animal, compared against its own baseline.

Gait reveals motor, sensory and musculoskeletal changes across a wide range of disease models.

What we automate: Standard parameters with familiar CatWalk XT naming: Print Length, Toe Spread, Stride Length, Step Cycle, Swing, Stance, Dual Stance and Regularity Index.

Injury models need sensitive, repeatable measures from the acute phase through recovery.

What we automate: Gait symmetry, posture and spontaneous behavior, tracked session over session.

Recognition and spatial memory tests depend on exactly where and how an animal explores.

What we automate: Novel object recognition with nose and head tracking, Morris water maze and conditioned place preference, including exploration time, discrimination index and latencies.

Coordination, balance and strength are core readouts in neurology, genetics and toxicology.

What we automate: Rotarod performance, open field locomotion, gait coordination and posture, scored automatically.

Muscle injury and repair models need functional endpoints that match the histology.

What we automate: Stride and stance measures and activity over the course of regeneration.

Joint, bone, tendon and muscle disorders all show up first as changes in how an animal moves.

What we automate: Gait asymmetry, stride and posture changes.

Peripheral nerve injury models such as sciatic crush need functional measures of reinnervation over time.

What we automate: Toe spread, intermediate toe spread and print length, the inputs to functional indices of nerve recovery, plus gait.

Parkinson's, Huntington's, Alzheimer's and related models combine motor and cognitive decline that progresses over months.

What we automate: Gait, motor coordination, posture and memory measures, tracked longitudinally in the same animals.

Muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy and related models need sensitive measures of strength and movement.

What we automate: Gait, stride and stance timing, rotarod performance and activity over disease progression.

Behavior is the final readout of the nervous system, across nearly every area of neuroscience research.

What we automate: Pose, posture, gait and behavior measures from standard assays, scored the same way every time.

Mechanical and thermal sensitivity tests are among the most widely run assays in pain research and among the most subjective to score.

What we automate: Von Frey and Hargreaves responses with posture-level detail on paw withdrawal, licking, flinching and guarding.

Implants, joint surgery and bone repair are judged by whether the animal returns to normal use of the limb.

What we automate: Gait symmetry, stride and posture measures before and after intervention.

Models such as DMM and MIA produce joint pain and altered gait that progress over weeks.

What we automate: Stance time, gait and posture changes that track joint pain and function.

Inflammatory arthritis models such as collagen-induced arthritis cause pain and impaired movement across multiple joints.

What we automate: Gait, guarding and activity measures alongside your clinical scores.

Social interaction tests are central to autism, schizophrenia and stress research, and are slow to score by hand.

What we automate: Approach, investigation and time spent near a social partner or stimulus, scored automatically.

Recovery after spinal cord injury is usually rated by eye on locomotor scales.

What we automate: Hindlimb stepping, paw placement, coordination and gait measures as an objective complement to locomotor rating scales.

Tendon, ligament and exercise-injury models need functional endpoints that reflect return to activity.

What we automate: Gait, posture and activity measures through injury, treatment and recovery.

Controlled cortical impact, fluid percussion and closed-head injury models produce motor, cognitive and affective deficits that evolve over weeks to months.

What we automate: Gait, coordination, spontaneous activity and anxiety-like behavior, tracked in the same animal from acute injury through chronic recovery.
