Genetics of mouse behavior: interactions with laboratory environment.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 4 Jun 1999

Abstract excerpt

Strains of mice that show characteristic patterns of behavior are critical for research in neurobehavioral genetics. Possible confounding influences of the laboratory environment were studied in several inbred strains and one null mutant by simultaneous testing in three laboratories on a battery of six behaviors. Apparatus, test protocols, and many environmental variables were rigorously equated. Strains differed...
