Figure Lengend Snippet: Rotarod assessment of strength stamina and coordination. At one year of age, mice were assessed for time to fall on an accelerating rotarod treadmill. The average latency to fall is represented by solid black circles (control), squares (vehicle-treated), or triangles (drug-treated). In the C9-149R model, average results are shown as C9-2R (open column), vehicle-treated (blue column), and drug-treated (purple column). There was no significant difference in performance between vehicle-treated groups (glycine or saline) and C9-2R controls (upper panel). For the TDP-43 Q331K model, average results are shown as WT (open column), vehicle-treated (green column), and drug-treated (red column). Motor performance was significantly reduced in all TDP-43 Q331K cohorts compared to WT controls ( p < 0.0001, ****, one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test). Error bars represent ±SD.
Article Snippet: Mice were assessed for time to fall on an accelerating rotarod treadmill (ENV-574M, Med Associates, Inc., St. Albans, VT, USA) set to increase from 4 to 40 rpm over four trials, with a maximum duration of 300 s per trial.
