Mice were trained and tested to traverse an elevated narrow beam, which was brightly illuminated at the start and ended in their home cage. Animals were three times trained on a square training beam that is slightly wider than the square testing beam. At the same day, a square beam of 11 mm width and a round beam of 16 mm in diameter were used for testing. The testing phase was videotaped and analyzed manually. The time to traverse the beam and the number of foot slips were analyzed.
