What is Zebrafish Locomotor Activity Tracking?

Locomotor activity tracking is a foundational zebrafish assay used across pharmacology, toxicology, and behavioral genetics. Changes in swimming speed, distance, and activity patterns serve as sensitive indicators of CNS drug effects, neurotoxicant exposure, and genetic mutations affecting motor circuits.

ConductVision provides frame-by-frame position tracking with sub-millimeter resolution, supporting single-fish and multi-fish protocols. The software outputs distance, velocity, activity bout statistics, and time-binned activity profiles for dose-response studies and circadian locomotion experiments.
