A standardized evaluation method was developed for Wearable Mobility Monitoring Systems (WMMS) that includes continuous activities in a realistic daily living environment. Testing with a series of daily living activities can decrease activity recognition sensitivity; therefore, realistic testing circuits are encouraged for valid evaluation of WMMS performance.

2025
This video demonstrates the effect of continuous drug infusion into the mouse brain on blood glucose levels. Glucose metabolism is assessed by collecting blood from a fasted mouse's tail and measuring glucose levels before and after oral glucose administration. Insulin tolerance is evaluated by injecting insulin in the mouse, with glucose levels recorded at specific intervals.

Bioreactors are used to grow organisms in large volumes, thereby enabling the production of mass quantities of the target product. These reactors can be batch reactors, which contain all of the components needed for cell growth, or continuous reactors, which have inlet and outlet ports allowing for the addition of fresh growth media and the removal of cell waste. This video presents batch and continuous reactors and demonstrates the use of bioreactors to grow bacteria in the laboratory.

Source: Heidbuechel, J. P., et al. Paramyxoviruses for Tumor-targeted Immunomodulation: Design and Evaluation Ex Vivo. J. Vis. Exp. (2019).This video demonstrates a cell-based assay to evaluate the target-specific immunomodulatory activity of a virally encoded bispecific T-cell engager (BTE). The BTE links tumor cells expressing a target receptor with T cells, triggering tumor lysis and enzyme release. A colorimetric readout, based on substrate conversion, indicates T-cell activation.

FAQs
Preserving the order and timing of actions shows whether behavior remains stable, shifts gradually, or changes in relation to a condition. A single endpoint can miss these transitions and may make two subjects with different activity histories appear similar. Continuous Activity Evaluation therefore supports comparisons based on behavioral trajectories, not only final outcomes.
Each measure emphasizes a different feature of activity. Frequency indicates how often an action occurs, duration captures how long it persists, intensity reflects its level, and timing places events within the observation period. Selecting one or combining several measures helps researchers describe behavioral changes more precisely and avoid reducing complex activity to a single value.
They reduce the chance that important behavioral transitions will be missed between isolated observations. Uninterrupted recording preserves the sequence of actions, while regular monitoring provides repeated information across the period being studied. This temporal coverage helps reveal activity patterns, behavioral variability, and changes associated with environmental conditions or other influences.
A study first establishes an observation period and identifies the behavioral features to record, such as frequency, duration, intensity, or timing. Activity is then documented continuously or at regular intervals, followed by comparisons of patterns across subjects, conditions, or time. The resulting record can be examined for changes in behavioral state and variability.
It is useful when the effect may appear as a change in activity pattern rather than as a different final measurement. Researchers can compare behavior as conditions change, across developmental shifts, or before and after treatment. Tracking the course of activity helps distinguish transient responses from sustained changes and strengthens interpretation of treatment or environmental effects.
Recording behavior across time preserves information about variability that a single observation may conceal. Researchers can compare the same temporal features across individuals or experimental conditions, making differences easier to interpret. Because the observation process retains the behavioral sequence and relevant changes, it also supports more precise comparisons and more reproducible experimental findings.
