A virtual burrow assay for head–fixed mice measures habituation, discrimination, exploration and avoidance without training

We have designed an assay that measures approach and avoidance behaviors in head-fixed mice at millisecond timescale, is compatible with standard electrophysiological and optical methods for measuring neuronal activity, and requires no training. The Virtual Burrow Assay simulates a scenario in which...
