The test is also called wire suspension test. A standard wire cage lid was used. The mouse was placed on the top of the lid. Afterwards, the lid was slightly shaken to cause the mouse to grip the wires, and then turned upside down. Duct tape placed around the perimeter of the lid prevented the mouse from climbing over the edge. The latency to fall off the wire lid was measured in seconds. A 90 s cut-off time was used.
