Tasks of spontaneous recognition are widely used to assess memory in rats and mice.

Animal behavior and movement can be followed and tracked with human-level accuracy by a new deep learning algorithm. This technique doesn't require tracking markers or arduous manual analysis. In this video, we see the algorithm track a mouse as it sniffs out an odor.
