Table 1 Descriptions of parameters utilized for motoric measures.
From: Mitochondrial function influences expression of methamphetamine-induced behavioral sensitization
Motor measure | Description |
|---|---|
Horizontal beam breaks | The number of interruptions of the horizontal sensors |
Total distance | The horizontal distanced traveled measured by the interruptions of the horizontal sensors reported in centimeters |
Vertical beam breaks | The number of beam interruptions that occurred in the vertical sensor |
Vertical movement number | The number of occurrences the rat spends at least 1 s between two successive beam interruptions of the vertical sensors |
Vertical time | The time between two successive beam interruptions of the vertical sensors |
Stereotypy count | The number of occurrences when the rat interrupts the same sensors repeatedly |
Stereotypy number | The number of occurrences when there is at least 1 s between successive repetitive interruptions of the same sensor |
Stereotypy time | The time between successive repetitive interruptions of the same sensor |
