Abstract excerpt
Male mice of parent inbred strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J, and mice from several of the BXD/Ty Recombinant Inbred (RI) strains derived from the cross of the parent inbred strains were tested for responsiveness to ethanol. Separate groups of mice from these strains were characterized for sensitivity to ethanol's effects to increase activity in an open field and to induce ambulatory ataxia in the grid test. The strain...
