Abstract

Adult male mice from the substrains DBA/2JNmg and DBA/2J were individually placed into a novel environment and compared for nine behavioral components. The substrains differed in three vertically oriented exploratory acts, the latter showing the highest rates. On the basis of the breeding history of strain DBA/2, it is concluded that over the past years one or more mutations with an effect on behavior have occurred in at least these sublines of an old and widely used inbred mouse strain.
