derotation: a Python package for correcting motion artifacts in rotating multiphoton movies

01 July 2025

Passive or active rotation of the head (yaw) is an ethologically relevant movement for rodents, enabling them to orient their bodies, avoid obstacles, and locate food sources. In neuroscience, controlled head rotation is a key experimental paradigm for studying the vestibular system and its influence on sensory processing. Electrophysiological recordings have demonstrated the impact of such movements on neural activity in the visual cortex, as shown by Velez et al. (2018).
