The Scurry Mouse Misstep Wheel is a variation on the standard voluntary running wheel where individual rungs may be removed to create a complex wheel or rung configuration. The complex wheel has been used to introduce the running wheel based Motor Skill Sequence (MOSS) in mice. This method has been used in the subchronic MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease. It has also been employed to display behavioral deficits of corpus callosum remyelination and demyelination in mouse mode of multiple sclerosis.
