Differences among eight inbred strains of mice in motor ability and motor learning on a rotorod.

Abstract excerpt

The rotorod is commonly used to assess motor ability in mice. We examined a number of inbred strains to determine whether there is genetic variability in rotorod performance and motor learning. Mice received three trials per day for three days in a modified accelerating rotorod paradigm, and active rotation performance was calculated for each day. Male and female 129S1/SvlmJ, A/J, BALB/cByJ, C3H/HeJ, C57BL/6J,...
