[Behavioral effects of ceruletide in Wriggle Mouse Sagami--in comparison with in Rolling Mouse Nagoya]

The behavioral effects of ceruletide in Wriggle Mouse Sagami (WMS) and Rolling Mouse Nagoya (RMN) were observed in an open-field study. Ceruletide decreased the movements of both types of mice, improving the ataxic gait in WMS; however, no such improvement was observed in RMN. There may be different mechanisms underlying the ataxic manifestations in WMS and RMN.
