abstract = "Video-based computerized tracking and behavioral analysis have been widely used in neuropharmacological and neurophysiological studies in rodents. Most previous systems have used 2D video recording to detect behaviors; however, 2D video cannot determine the 3D locations of animals and encounters difficulties in tracking animals when animals overlap, e.g., when mounting. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a 3D video-based analysis system for rats, named 3DTracker. In this chapter, we explain how to setup 3DTracker in an experimental room and how the system works. We also present applications of the 3D system for analyses of both sexual behavior and a novel object-recognition test, and discuss other possible applications of the 3D system. The 3D system will provide an expanded repertoire of behavioral tests for computerized analysis and could open the door to new approaches for in vivo neuropharmacology and neurophysiology for rodents.",
