Optomotry system
The OptoMotry system is a laboratory equipment used for visual function assessment. It measures optokinetic responses in animals to evaluate visual capabilities. The system consists of a virtual reality arena that generates moving visual stimuli, allowing researchers to assess the animal's visual behavior and motor responses.

Visual Function Assessment in Crb1/Crb2 Mice
The numbers of mice used for the OKT measurements per time point were as follows: 1M (Crb1KOCrb2flox/flox = 8 and Crb1KOCrb2ΔRods = 4), 3M (Crb1KOCrb2flox/flox = 10 and Crb1KOCrb2ΔRods = 10), 5M (Crb2flox/flox = 10, Crb2ΔRods = 8), 7M (Crb1KOCrb2flox/flox = 8 and Crb1KOCrb2ΔRods = 9), 9M (Crb2flox/flox = 7, Crb1KOCrb2flox/flox = 8, and Crb1KOCrb2ΔRods = 9). Statistical significance was calculated by using Mann-Whitney U test.
Electrophysiological and Visual Acuity Assessments in Mice
Mouse visual acuity was measured with the OptoMotry system (Cerebral Mechanics, USA) as previously described (Prusky et al., 2004 (link)). Mice adapted to ambient light for 30 min were placed on the stimulus platform surrounded by four computer monitors displaying black and white vertical stripe patterns. An event that mice track the stripe movements with reflexive head-turn was counted as a successful visual detection. The detection thresholds were then obtained from the OptoMotry software.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
