[Abstract]  Despite the great number of test batteries already known to assess the behavior of genetically modified and inbred strains of mice, only a few of them focus on basic neurological parameters. The purpose of the battery test proposed is to settle a specific methodology to characterize the phenotype of neurological disease models in mutant or genetically modified mice. This methodology is simple and efficient in order to analyze several parameters, including general activity, sensory nervous system, sensorimotor system, central nervous system and autonomous nervous system. This can aid the choice of specific additional tests as well as the determination of an interrelationship among phenotypic alterations observed. Although being efficient for a first analysis of a mouse model, ... [摘要]  [摘要] 尽管已知有大量的测试电池可以评估转基因和自交系小鼠的行为,但只有少数测试电池专注于基本神经系统参数。提出的电池测试的目的是确定一种特定的方法来表征突变或转基因小鼠中神经疾病模型的表型。该方法简单有效,可以分析多个参数,包括一般活动,感觉神经系统,感觉运动系统,中枢神经系统和自主神经系统。这可以帮助选择特定的附加测试,以及确定观察到的表型改变之间的相互关系。尽管对小鼠模型的首次分析非常有效,但必须谨慎地对结果进行解释,因为表型表现可能会因许多参数而异,包括小鼠品系,环境和居住条件,动物与实验人员的互动,样本量和测试顺序等。如果处理程序令人反感,则必须将其视为关键点。通过分析18个参数获得的结果一起提供了表征小鼠表型的初步数据,并有助于选择更具体的测试。

[背景技术实验室小鼠已被用作生物医学研究的模型,提供了多种遗传模型,例如同基因株,自发突变体和转基因动物。实施基因改造后,小鼠成为神经科学研究的重要工具,使研究人员能够研究单个基因在发育和行为中的作用。此外,由于与人类相比,小鼠具有85%的同源性,它们已成为主要的哺乳动物模型和遗传生物(Pritchett- C orning 等人,2015),包括与人类大脑功能的相似性,如焦虑样行为等情绪反应(范中号EER和Raber,2005) ...
