Possible approach to the analysis of different behaviors associated with rodent navigation, including scent marking. (A) While a rodent navigates in an arena, its position and different behaviors are video recorded. (B) Behaviors, such as locomotion, sniffing, whisking and verticalization, are analyzed based on video recordings. Maps of animal position and velocity are analyzed, as well. (C) Scent marks are visualized under UV light and compared with the navigation traces.
