A new workflow for analyzing multi‑mouse dynamics
As demand grows for automated measures of rodent social behavior, tools that capture multi‑animal interactions in home‑cage environments are increasingly important. In a new Article, Ochi et al. present IntelliProfiler, a data-processing workflow that derives locomotor and social‑proximity metrics from a high‑resolution RFID floor plate paired with implanted tags. Offering insights into how group size, sex and aging shape activity and group dynamics, IntelliProfiler opens new avenues for quantifying complex social behaviors in mice.
