Abstract excerpt

Spatial learning performance and maze-running strategies were estimated in two inbred strains of mice, C57BL/6 and DBA/2, submitted to an 8-arm radial maze task. Subsequently the genotype-dependent effect of hippocampus and amygdala on the mastering of this task was examined as a function of the...
