Abstract excerpt
D(1A)-null mice were backcrossed over 14 generations into a C57BL/6 background to result in essential elimination (to <0.005%) of any contribution from the 129/Sv component of their initially mixed (129/SvxC57BL/6) background. Their phenotype was assessed using an ethologically based approach that resolves each individual topography of behaviour in the natural repertoire. Habituation of sniffing, locomotion,...
