What is Circling Detection?
Rotational behavior — persistent circling in one direction — is the hallmark of unilateral dopamine depletion in 6-OHDA Parkinson's models. Amphetamine-induced ipsilateral and apomorphine-induced contralateral rotations quantify lesion extent and dopaminergic graft efficacy. Circling also occurs in vestibular dysfunction and unilateral brain lesions.
ConductVision is developing automated circling detection using pose estimation and supervised classification. Contact our team to discuss early access or custom classifier training for your research.
