Locomotion adaptation: walking pattern consistency and efficiency. a All cerebellar mutant mice showed very inconsistent walking patterns in comparison with control mice throughout the perturbed sessions; mutant mice changed their step lengths significantly more often than control mice. b All cerebellar mutant mice showed a significantly higher number of consecutive small steps than control mice. Similarly, except for α6-Cacna1a, cerebellar mutant mice showed a lower number of consecutive large steps, i.e., smaller block sizes. c All cerebellar mutant mice had less efficient trials per session than control littermates. Error bars represent SEM. Significant differences between mutant and control mice are demonstrated with an asterisk
