Protocol Steps
Testing Schedule
Male wild-type and ASO mice were tested for motor performance and coordination on the inverted grid as part of a battery of sensorimotor tests
Note: Testing was conducted at regular 2-month intervals over an 8-month period

“Male wild-type and ASO mice were tested every 2 months for 8 months for motor performance and coordination on a challenging beam, inverted grid, and pole”
Inverted Grid Assessment
Mice were assessed on the inverted grid to measure motor performance and coordination as part of the sensorimotor test battery
Note: This test is sensitive to alterations in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system
