Score grooming time percent, mean bout length, cephalocaudal sequences, group SEM, and CSV export for repetitive-behavior studies.
Enter total grooming duration, bout count, and cephalocaudal sequence counts for each animal. The scorer reports grooming time percent, mean bout length, and sequence count summaries by group.

Rodent self-grooming can be scored as total duration, bout structure, and ordered cephalocaudal sequences. In autism-relevant phenotyping, elevated grooming is often interpreted as repetitive or stereotyped behavior when protocol context supports that interpretation.
Grooming time percent is total grooming duration divided by session duration x 100. Mean bout length is grooming duration divided by bout count. Sequence counts are reported as raw event counts and summarized by group.
Use fixed scoring windows, matched arena novelty, consistent bedding or floor surface, and blinded observers. Report strain, age, sex, lighting, acclimation, and whether grooming was manually scored or video assisted.
