A virtual library for behavioral performance in standard conditions—rodent spontaneous activity in an open field during repeated testing and after treatment with drugs or brain lesions

BACKGROUND: Beyond their specific experiment, video records of behavior have future value-for example, as inputs for new experiments or for yet unknown types of analysis of behavior-similar to tissue or blood sample banks in life sciences where clinically derived or otherwise well-described experimental samples are stored to be available for some unknown potential future purpose. FINDINGS: Research using an animal model of obsessive-compulsive …
