Changes to rotarod performance and striatal activity on the rotarod in premanifest YAC128 mice. (A) Latency to fall over days of training (three trials averaged per day) (day effect, P < 0.0001; two‐way analysis of variance [ANOVA]). (B) Percentage of trials that ended by falling, rotating, or completing full trial. (C) Mean number of turnarounds per trial over days of training (day effect, P < 0.0001; genotype effect, P = 0.0038; two‐way ANOVA). (D) Mean z score on rotarod over days of training (day effect, P < 0.0001; genotype effect, P = 0.0029; and genotype difference on day 1, P = 0.0010; two‐way ANOVA with multiple comparisons). (E) jGCaMP7f traces from two example animals of each genotype. Each trace is the average of three trials for day 1 (left) and day 4 (right). Gray area denotes average latency to fall that day for WT (black dotted line) and YAC128 (red dotted line). (F–G) Left: Latency to fall plotted against mean z score per trial for WT (F) and YAC128 (G). Right: Scatterplot of latency to fall compared with z score for each trial (WT, Pearson's r = −0.8057, P < 0.0001; YAC128 Pearson's r = −0.4852, P < 0.0001). WT, wild type; YAC128, yeast artificial chromsome‐128CAG. [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
