Genetic and behavioral tests of the McManus hypothesis relating response to selection for lateralization of handedness in mice to degree of heterozygosity.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1993

Collins R L, Sargent E E, Neumann P E

Abstract excerpt

McManus advanced a genetic hypothesis to explain differences of lateralization between HI and LO lines of mice selectively bred for degree of handedness. It states that lateralization is a function of heterozygosity. Specifically it predicts that (a) the HI line will be more heterozygous than the LO line and (b) populations with a greater average heterozygosity (AH) will be more strongly lateralized. Both genetic...
