title: [Method for correction of perspective distortions during videotracking of the animal in Morris watermaze].
abstract: Analysis of correlations between the neuronal activity and animal behavior requires recordings of neuronal activity combined with video tracking. Recordings of neuronal activity in animals performing spatial task in Morris water maze requires angular position of recording camera to avoid "dead zones". If optical axe forms the angle with the water surface, perspective distortions occur. This leads to false results in analysis of trajectories. The paper suggests the method for correction of perspective distortions.
