Durrieu et al. 2026: Drosophila Object Manipulation Behavioral Tracking

Raw and processed behavioral tracking data from a neural silencing screen in Drosophila fruit flies. The dataset includes per-animal HDF5 tracking files, processed coordinates, ball-pushing metrics, and grid videos of each genotype. It was produced by author Matthias Durrieu and last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze motor learning and object manipulation based on ball-pushing metrics
• Train pose estimation models based on full-body keypoint pose files
• Study genotype-phenotype relationships in behavior based on per-genotype grid videos
• Validate animal tracking algorithms based on centroid and keypoint data

Strengths

• Includes multiple data modalities: raw tracking files, processed metrics, and video recordings
• Data is processed into accessible formats like .feather files for coordinates and metrics
• Last updated on 2026-05-12, indicating recent maintenance

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count and overall dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
