This study investigates variations in performance, postures and strains on the hand arm shoulder musculature during the operation of a wireless mouse, trackpad and a new input device.
We also performed sham operations on a separate group of mice, in which the procedure was similar but the optic nerve was not crushed.
The difficulties in standardizing the operation of MI in neonatal mice may account for the discrepancy in the reported regenerative potential.
At the end of the operation, the mice were resuscitated immediately by the subcutaneous administration of saline (1 ml/mouse) and allowed free access to food and water after awakening.
This operation did not impair learning and memory performance, and the abilities of the operated mice were similar to those of mice that did not undergo surgery.
On the second day of the operation, these mice were transfused with BM cells that were isolated from the RBP-J knockout mice or the control mice and were labeled with Dio.
To investigate the effects of electro-acupuncture during the period of pain-related behaviour (i.e. 15 28 days post-operation), we used a second group of mice, termed group 2, with 10 controls and 10 mice that were electro-acupuncture-treated two weeks after nerve crush.
The activity score of mice in sham-operated groups was normal with slight decreases of activity 24 and 72 hours after sham operation.
Sham operations were performed (Sham; n = 4) on an additional group of mice.
