Artificial
sweeteners like MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate) model has been used anxiety-like
behaviors on rats. The tracking of rat’s movements has broad applicability to
questions in anxiety-like behaviors with different doses MSG injections (50 mg/kg/day,
100 mg/kg/day and 200 mg/kg/day) to rats. In this paper, in order to measure
three types locomotor activity (line crossing, rearing, grooming), a video
tracking software is used. The advantage of this type of tracking software is
that it provides to give locomotor activity of rats in real-time. The
experimental results obtained in this study have shown that learning and
memorial functions negatively affected in the brains of the rats an
anxiety-like model. In addition, the visual tracking results demonstrate that
video tracking system provides an accurate monitoring of rat’s behavior.
