What is Rearing Detection?
Rearing — standing on the hindlimbs with forepaws free or touching a wall — is a sensitive marker of vertical exploration, dopaminergic tone, and novelty response. Rearing frequency is reduced by anxiety, sedation, and neurodegeneration, making it a versatile endpoint across pharmacology, toxicology, and disease modeling.
ConductVision detects rearing using side-camera contour analysis, tracking peak and bottom body points to classify vertical posture. The system automatically distinguishes supported rearing (wall-contact) from unsupported rearing (free-standing), providing researchers with both total and subtype counts without manual scoring.
