    This study developed a shuttle box method to assess mouse vision. It effectively detected visual impairment in hereditary cataract and retina degeneration models, differentiating between mild and severe cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Ophthalmology
    • Behavioral Science

    Background:

    • Assessing visual function in mice is crucial for understanding eye diseases.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture the nuances of visual impairment.
    • A reliable behavioral assay is needed for preclinical studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate a shuttle box behavioral method for assessing visual function in mice.
    • To validate the method's sensitivity in detecting visual impairment.
    • To differentiate the severity of visual deficits in various mouse models.

    Main Methods:

    • Mice were trained using auditory and visual conditioned stimuli to avoid electric footshock.
    • Visual impairment was induced using alkali treatment to the cornea.

  • The method was applied to hereditary cataract (Cts, cac) and retina degeneration (C3H, F1) mouse models.

    • Main Results:

    • The shuttle box method successfully detected visual impairment induced by alkali treatment.
    • Normal mice showed rapid avoidance response recovery, unlike alkali-treated mice.
    • Cts and cac mice exhibited mild visual impairment, while C3H and F1 mice showed strong impairment.

    Conclusions:

    • The shuttle box method is a viable tool for detecting and quantifying visual impairment in mice.
    • This method can differentiate between mild and severe visual deficits in genetic models.
    • It offers a promising approach for preclinical evaluation of visual function.
