Abstract excerpt
We reported previously that spontaneous activity in the home cage is highly variable among the Mishima battery of mouse strains. In that study, NJL and KJR were found to be hyperactive strains in contrast to BLG2, which showed one of the lowest activity levels. To unravel the genetic loci involved in this behavioral phenotype, we conducted QTL analyses on backcross populations of crosses between either NJL or KJR...
