Gait and Balance Assessment
Objective: Evaluation of gait and balance abnormalities in mice with dorsal medial habenula lesions
This is a Gait and Balance 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.
