4.4. Pretesting
Although training is not required to perform this test after ICH,
certain animals may display baseline asymmetric forelimb prefer-
ences. Therefore, pretesting the animals before injury is recom-
mended, since those animals with predisposing asymmetries should
be excluded from further testing.
4.5. Alternative
Neurobehavioral
Methods
Other frequently used evaluations for sensorimotor asymmetry
include the paw-placement and corner turn tests. These methods
are outlined in other chapters.
