A sample of twelve specific mouse behaviors created for a research paper. The Thomas C. Bozza Laboratory at Northwestern University is currently investigating how the organization of inputs to the olfactory bulb of the brain contributes to odor perception and innate behavior. Mice are fast-moving and largely active in the dark, so existing photographic representation was of poor quality. Line art showing very specific positions and movement was required to clearly depict the behaviors.
