Abstract excerpt
How allelic diversity affects neural mechanisms to produce behavioral variation is largely unknown. The elevated plus maze, consisting of open and closed arms, has been used as a model of behavioral variation in rodent exploration. Under dim illumination the nature of the sensory stimuli that influence arm choice is uncertain. Two inbred mouse strains, A/J (Tyrc/Tyrc, the albino phenotype, mutation in tyrosinase)...
