Description: A spontaneous tremor rat was originated from in-house breeding colony , after purchased from Charles River Laboratory 12 years earlier, at McMaster University Central Animal Facility, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 10-12 days old rats had tremors that were followed by ataxia, hind limb paresis, episodes of immobility, and seizures by 5-14 weeks.
