Strain-dependent variations in stress coping behavior are mediated by a 5-HT/GABA interaction within the prefrontal corticolimbic system [PDF]
Background: Serotonin and γ- Aminobutyric acid (GABA) transmission is crucial in coping strategies. Methods: Here, using mice from 2 inbred strains widely exploited in behavioral neurochemistry, we investigated whether serotonin transmission in medial ...

Mouse models of colorectal cancer. [PDF]
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. Many mouse models have been developed to evaluate features of colorectal cancer in humans. These can be grouped into genetically-engineered, chemically-induced, and inoculated models.

Recurrent Regional Allelic Imbalance in Chromosome 15 in Rat Endometrial Adenocarcinomas [PDF]
Objective: Animals of the inbred BDII rat strain are genetically predisposed to endometrialadenocarcinomas (EAC) and can be used to model human cancer.

Strain differences in seizure-induced cell death following pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus
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 background and age at first exposure have been identified as critical variables that contribute to individual vulnerability to drug addiction. Evidence shows that genetic factors may account for 40–70% of the variance in liability to addiction ...

Behavioral Profiles of Genetically Selected Aggressive and Nonaggressive Male Wild House Mice in Two Anxiety Tests [PDF]
Artificially selected aggressive (SAL) and non-aggressive (LAL) male house mice were tested in a hexagonal tunnel maze and light–dark preference (LD) box to determine if the bidirectional selection for aggressive behavior leads to a coselection for ...

Genetic Factors in Animal Models of Intestinal Inflammation
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
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
