Neonatal vestibular stimulation and mating in cerebellar mutants.

Abstract excerpt

Two cerebellar mutants, staggerer and reeler, and their congenic nonmutants were used in this experiment. Experimental animals were subjected to intense rotational stimulation on a tilted plane during the first 3 weeks of life, while controls were left nonstimulated. The capacity for mating, as evidenced by vaginal plugs or the occurrence of pregnancy, was assayed during two periods: between 36 and 89 days of age...
