Number of immunoreactive GnRH-containing neurons is heritable in a wild-derived population of white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus).

Physiological and biochemical zoology : PBZ - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of mammalian brain function depends in part on levels of natural, heritable variation in numbers, location, and function of neurons. However, the nature and amount of natural genetic variation in neural traits and their physiological link to variation in function or evolutionary change are unknown. We estimated the level of within-population heritable variation in the number of...
