Grooming behaviour in rodents comprises a sequence of stereotyped cleaning movements that serves multiple adaptive functions, including thermoregulation, sensory maintenance and stress modulation.

This talk will present the methodology of using the guided ultrasonic waves generated by the rodent to track its physiology, behavior, and psychological state. When behaving in an environment, muscle ...
