Grip strength meter (TSE, Bad Homburg)
The force exerted by the animal while pulling the grip with its forelimbs is measured with a force sensor. The maximum force (in pond) is displayed and stored in the computer.

NeuroScreen from TOENNIES
Analysis of evoked or spontaneous potentials in neurons and spontaneous activity in muscles as well as nerve conduction studies
Rotarod (TSE, Bad Homburg)
The rotarod apparatus consists of a rotating rod whose surface is manufactured to provide optimal grip for the animal. Separating panels provide several individual lanes for an individual mouse. The motor speed is controlled electronically and can be defined as a constant speed or as an accelerating one with user-defined acceleration. Light beams detect the falling of the mice and the current status of each lane and the latency data of the animals are recorded with the computer software.
Telemetric EEG:
PhysioTel™ implantable telemetry transmitters (DSI), are used for the measurement of cortical electric activity in conscious, freely moving mice.
