Basal Locomotion Assessment
Objective: Measurement of baseline locomotor activity levels in mice with dorsal medial habenula lesions to assess basal locomotion
This is a Basal Locomotion Assessment protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2014 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Basal Locomotion Assessment
Measurement of baseline locomotor activity levels in mice with dorsal medial habenula lesions
Note: Mice with dMHb lesions show only minor abnormalities in gait and balance and exhibit normal levels of basal locomotion

“Mice with dMHb lesions perform poorly in motivation-based locomotor behaviors, such as voluntary wheel running and the accelerating rotarod, but show only minor abnormalities in gait and balance and exhibit normal levels of basal locomotion”
