Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a 3D imaging method to precisely map and categorize the social behavior of animals. By quantitatively measuring the movements, interactions, and body contacts between rodents, the scientists were able to reveal for the first time how several different genetic forms of autism affected social behavior in rats.
