Behavioral evaluation of cocaine in lab models is a standard neuroscience technique to study the stimulant and reinforcing effects of narcotics. Cocaine triggers varied dose-related responses, such as faster movement, fixed motor patterns, and unique exploration habits. Among these, physical activation, head-waving, and darting are often vital markers of drug-triggered changes in motor control and brain activity. These profiles offer glimpses into the neural pathways of stimulant drugs and are used often in research on addiction and dopamine levels. 

Clever Sys offers a sophisticated automated DrugEffectScan that leverages high-speed video acquisition and advanced computer vision to quantify drug related behaviors. This high-throughput solution eliminates the variability associated with manual observation, ensuring objective data collection and rigorous preclinical compliance. By automating detection of Head Waving, Darting, and Locomotor/In-Place/Immobile, our platform empowers researchers to generate reproducible, publication-quality insights into treatment efficacy and neuroprotection.
