🐭🚀Mice from #OuterSpace: New preprint by Kiffer et al. applies #SLEAP pose tracking and #DeepEthogram behavioral segmentation to archival mouse videos from #NASA’s Rodent Research-1 mission aboard the #ISS 🛰️

Turns out: In #microgravity, mice reorganize behavior fast. They cluster for rest, launch themselves across the cage, and develop acrobatic looping movements as they adapt to orbital life 💫
