Abstract excerpt
We have recently identified, using two inbred rat strains (Lewis and SHR), the first two loci for an emotionality-related behavior in rats (locomotion in the central area of the open field test). Aiming to develop an alternative genetic model that will help to corroborate the existence of these loci and that could serve as a tool in the study of anxiety, we have started breeding two new rat lines. From a highly...
