BonZeb: open-source, modular software tools for high-resolution zebrafish tracking and analysis

Abstract We present BonZeb—a suite of modular Bonsai packages which allow high-resolution zebrafish tracking with dynamic visual feedback. Bonsai is an increasingly popular software platform that is accelerating the standardization of experimental protocols within the neurosciences due to its speed,...
