摘要

The laboratory mouse has emerged as the workhorse animal inrnmodern biology. Researchers in many disciplines rely on this mam-rnmal for studying fundamental scientific questions and complex dis-rnease processes. Evan Gouldine et al. present a tool that produces arnholistic view of animal behavior, which can aid in understanding the consequences of experimental manipulations in mice. The authors developed a highly sensitive, automated procedure that quantitatively characterizes the behaviors exhibited by mice in their home cages. This approach examines two fundamental behavioral states: "active states," during which multiple behaviors cluster temporally, and "inactive states," in which animals restrnand sleep. The detection and characterization of active states enabled the authors to clarify the underlying organization of behavioral events. Circadian rhythms and two obesity-inducing mutations differentially regulated this behavioral organization. Because a diverse array of neural and physiological processes shape home cage patterns, the authors say their approach could enable the detection of genetic, environmental, and pharmacological manipulations relevant to a wide array of disease models.
