Ethologists have long hypothesized that behavior is organized out of distinguishable behavioral modules. This work describes a combined 3D machine vision/machine learning method that identifies behavioral modules expressed by freely-behaving mice, and demonstrates the utility of this approach in capturing behavioral changes induced by altering genes, the environment or activity in neural circuits.
