Tracking and modeling mouse movements during platform walking task.

Tracking and modeling mouse movements during the platform walking task.  Ipsilateral movements (IL) refer to the tail being on the same side as the tilt direction, while contralateral (CL) movements refer to the tail being on the opposite side. B) Tail (red) and body (green) angles before, during (shaded), and after the tilt, with the tail evidently rotating ~90° in either direction. C, D) Biomechanical model illustrating that tail rotation generates more angular momentum than body tilt, which helps balancing out the perturbation of the tilt. Credit: Lacava et al.
