QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF STEREOTYPED AND CHALLENGED LOCOMOTION AFTER LESION OF THE STRIATUM: A 3D KINEMATIC STUDY IN RATS.

Quantitative assessment of stereotyped and challenged locomotion after lesion of the striatum: a 3D kinematic study in rats.

BACKGROUND: Although the striatum is in position to regulate motor function, the role hat of the structure in locomotor behaviour is poorly understood.Therefore, a detailed analysis of locomotion- and obstacle avoidance-related parameters was performed after unilateral lesion of the striatum in rats.METHODS AND RESULTS: Using the three dimensional

Distribution of Trichostrongylus colubriformis on common pasture grasses and legumes from the Midwestern United States.

Nematodes that infect grazing herbivores rely on the ability of larvae to escape the fecal pat and ascend onto forage in order to be eaten by a subsequent host.However, pastures are polycultures of grasses and forbs that vary with respect to morphology and potential innate defense mechanisms acquired as part Blocks of their own co-evolution with ne
