Figure 6. Skeletal movements of the circling IsK−/− mouse.

Figure 6

The mouse was filmed from above while it made five counter-clockwise turns over 2 s (see Fig. 4B) Cineradiography film captured at 250 Hz and data sampling at 50 Hz. A, pattern of limb movement with same layout and abbreviations as Fig. 5A. RF, RH and LF exhibit a regular pattern in contrast to prolonged ground contact of the LH, which is used as a pivot. B, horizontal angle between the skull and the cervical column. C, horizontal angle between the cervical and thoracic columns. D, horizontal angle between the thoracic and lumbar columns. Note the stability of the front part of the body in contrast to the hind section.
