Abstract excerpt
Previous experiments on genetically different inbred strains of mice demonstrated parallel variations between the activity of regional brain tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and locomotor behavior. Based on these associations, it was hypothesized that genetic variations in mesotelencephalic TH activity, an index of dopamine neurotransmitter function, would correlate positively with exploratory and locomotor behavior.
