Class Label | Description |
|---|---|
Idle | Mouse is still, no body parts are moving |
Groom | Variety of movements that involve repetitive motions, mainly using the front limbs and head, but also including tail grooming and hind leg scratches |
Slow Explore | Slow head turning and sniffing |

Rear | Moving into reared posture, slow hover on hind limbs |
Climb | Reared posture with limb movement occurring mainly at walls and corners |
Amble and Turn | Slow or uncoordinated locomotion that does not appear regular, single steps |
Locomotion | Regular directed movement that involves limb coordination |
