Abstract
The name zigzag has been given to an inherited behaviour defect in the mouse in which the animals walk with a zigzag motion. It is inherited polygenically. The anatomical defect responsible for the abnormal behaviour was a reduction or absence of the horizontal canals of the inner ear, the reduction consisting of a constriction in the middle of the canal length, rather than a shortening of the canal.Keywords
