The beam-walking test evaluates sensory and motor functions by showing how well an experimental animal can walk on a narrow bar. The movement of the rats as they crossed a narrow wooden bar with a length of 80 cm and a width of 5 cm was evaluated. A total of three tests were performed, and the average value was used. Scores ranged from 0 to 6 points. Referring to previous studies, “the state of being unable to balance on a bar and maintaining it for 10 s” was scored as 0, and “the state of crossing a narrow bar without slipping of the feet” was scored as 6 [32].
