Genetic factors control nicotine self-administration in isogenic adolescent rat strains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Adult cigarette smokers usually become dependent on cigarettes during adolescence. Despite recent advances in addiction genetics, little data delineates the genetic factors that account for the vulnerability of humans to smoke tobacco.

Strain differences in delay discounting using inbred rats [PDF]
Genes, Brain and Behavior, 2009 A heightened aversion to delayed rewards is associated with substance abuse and numerous other neuropsychiatric disorders. Many of these disorders are heritable, raising the possibility that delay aversion may also have a significant genetic or heritable component.

Strain differences in seizure-induced cell death following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus
Neurobiology of Disease, 2012 Mouse strains differ from one another in their susceptibility to seizure-induced excitotoxic cell death. Previously, we have demonstrated that mature inbred strains of mice show remarkable genetic differences in susceptibility to the neuropathological ...

Genetic Factors in Animal Models of Intestinal Inflammation
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1995 The critical importance of host genetic susceptibility in determining chronicity, aggressiveness and complications of intestinal inflammation is clearly demonstrated by studies of inbred rodents, transgenic rats and spontaneous mutants. Inbred Lewis rats

Comparison of voluntary ethanol intake by two pairs of rat lines used as genetic models of anxiety
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004 The relationship between anxiety-related behaviors and voluntary ethanol intake was examined in two pairs of rat lines by the oral ethanol self-administration procedure. Floripa high (H) and low (L) rats selectively bred for contrasting anxiety responses
