I am working on Neurobehavioural Projects of rodents as animal model for Neurological disorders related to cognition deficits, depressive, anxiety-depressive behavior.
I have a Tech-com (webcam) camera of 40 Megapixel but unfortunately I don't have the software as like of Any-maze to track the positioning on animal in subjective studies of MWM test, NORT, Open field, EPM etc.
I know that Any-maze software is costly and out of my budget, won't be able to afford it.
Would anyone suggest to me an alternative to this software as if I can track animals through some of free trial version for that that remain free for some days or if any possible alternative?
Please help me. I need it to perform the behavioral studies and manually doing much bias results.
Thanking you
This software might also be outside your budget, but you could make some enquirires....some of my clients use it for their behavioural studies.

Tracker Video Analysis and Modeling Tool by Douglas Brown (http://physlets.org/tracker/). It's free and it works well.
Hi Mohit
my colleagues published an overview/review article in TREE last year, it's with ecological applications in mind but still includes several packages that originate from neurobehavioral research. The article includes a nice overview table in the supplement. Find attached
Hope this helps
