Open-source software utilization for zebrafish embryos behavior test
This work described simple methods for measuring locomotive activity using open-source software, ImageJ1.54fFiji, and VirtualDub2. The significance of animal behavior is a mirror of brain activity, which can give information implicated with neurological diseases. Commercial behavioral analysis software frequently needs expertise and expenses high costs due to equip a specific instrument to use of software, thereby encouraging a trend toward open-source alternatives that are both accessible and effective. Here, we explained how to convert video format, measure movement, and produce useful locomotive parameters to aid in the assessment of zebrafish embryos. This method could be easily translated for use in other model systems. This methodology seeks to streamline behavioral quantification in research contexts, encouraging broader research aspects.
期刊介绍:
Molecules and Cells is an international on-line open-access journal devoted to the advancement and dissemination of fundamental knowledge in molecular and cellular biology. It was launched in 1990 and ISO abbreviation is "Mol. Cells". Reports on a broad range of topics of general interest to molecular and cell biologists are published. It is published on the last day of each month by the Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology.
