Table 1. Neurologic Function Scoring System.

General	Consciousness	Unresponsive, depressed, normal	0, 50,100
General	Respiration	Abnormal (<60 or > 120), normal	0,100
Cranial Nerve	Olfactory	Orient to smell	no = 0, yes = 20
	Vision	Startle response to stimulus	no = 0, yes = 20
	Corneal reflex	Blink response to corneal stimulus	no = 0, yes = 20
	Whisker movement	Spontaneous	no = 0, yes = 20
	Hearing	Startle response to loud noise	no = 0, yes = 20
Motor	Left forepaw	Spontaneous or withdraw from pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Right forepaw	Spontaneous or withdraw from pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Left hindpaw	Spontaneous or withdraw from pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Right hindpaw	Spontaneous or withdraw from pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Tail	Spontaneous or withdraw from pain	no = 0, yes = 10
Sensory	Left forepaw	React to pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Right forepaw	React to pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Left hindpaw	React to pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Right hindpaw	React to pain	no = 0, yes = 10
	Tail	React to pain	no = 0, yes = 10
Coordination	Ledge traverse		no = 0, yes = 25
	Righting reflex		no = 0, yes = 25
	Placing test		no = 0, yes = 25
	Stop at table edge		no = 0, yes = 25
Total Score			500
