Balance beam apparatus. A wooden beam (12 mm and 6 mm) is suspended 50 cm above the ground. To encourage the mouse to cross the beam to enter a secure location, a safe house with bedding is placed at the exit end of the beam. A net provides a soft landing in case the mouse falls from the beam. The camera at the end of the beam captures any foot slips as the mouse crosses the beam.
