Rotarod Test
Objective: Assessment of motor coordination and balance in mice on a rotating rod
This is a Rotarod Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2008 paper published in Physiological Genomics.

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.

Rotarod test administration
Mice were tested on the rotarod as part of a standardized operating procedure (SOP) for behavioral phenotyping
Note: This test was one of seven tests in the test battery including open field, SHIRPA, grip-strength, Y-maze, prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle response, and tail flick tests
