Female Thy1-aSyn mice express less human alpha-synuclein compared to males.
This could be involved in the lack of motor deficits in female Thy1-aSyn mice.
A novel beam test reveals sensorimotor deficits in female Thy1-aSyn mice.
This supports the importance of sensorimotor integration in movement disorders.
Thy1-aSyn mice can be used to study the mechanisms of sensorimotor impairments.
