Abstract excerpt
Catalepsy (pronounced motor inhibition) is a natural defensive reaction against predator. Recently, the quantitative trait locus for catalepsy was mapped on mouse chromosome 13 near the 5-HT(1A) serotonin receptor gene. Here, the linkage between catalepsy and the 5-HT(1A) receptor gene was verified using breeding experiment. Selective breeding for high predisposition to catalepsy was started from backcross BC[CBA...
