Abstract excerpt
In a dominant genetic screen for late-onset motor impairments in mice, 16-20-week-old N-nitroso-N-ethylurea (ENU)-mutagenized females were subjected to a behavioural test battery consisting of a visual assessment followed by the vertical pole, rotarod and grip strength tests. SOD1-G93A transgenic mice were tested in parallel as a positive control to provide information on the validity and sensitivity of the...
