Abstract excerpt
The brains of mice selectively bred for differential locomotor activity in an open field (DeFries et al., Behav. Genet. 8:3-13, 1978) were analyzed for selection-dependent changes in the size of synaptic fields at the midseptotemporal level for the hippocampus. Timm-stained areas of all hippocampal fields from both left and right hippocampi were measured on five horizontal sections from the midseptotemporal...
