Core Tip	Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common demyelinating central nervous system disease associated with progressive physical impairment. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is often used as an animal model to study MS. EAE can be induced in various species by introducing specific antigens, and the severity of the paralysis is indicated using the EAE score. The score is simple and easy to use, however, its application varies between laboratories, and the scoring is dependent on the subjective bias of the researchers. We described the criteria used for the EAE scoring systems in various laboratories, to facilitate the study of MS.
