Mouse Behavioral Scoring

To score the mice's behavior, I watched the video and took note of the most common behaviors that the mice exhibited. I observed 6 major behaviors and ranked them on a scale from -3 to 3, -3 being the most anxious behavior and 3 being the least anxious behavior. 

The scale goes as follows:

-3: Trying to escape/climb

-2: Walking along the perimeter

-1: Walking towards the center but veering back to the perimeter

0: Mouse does nothing

1: Freezing +Sniffing while facing the middle

2: Within what looks to be 2 inches from the center

3: Staying in the center for at least 5 seconds

While watching the video, I recorded each behavior and its frequency within 20-second intervals and took note of the total score.
