Mutant Mice and Neuroscience: Recommendations Concerning Genetic Background
Banbury Conference on Genetic Background in Mice* identity of the genetic elements governing these other factors (modifiers) is usually unknown, it is important to keep them constant when evaluating the impact of a Mouse mutants derived by targeted mutagenesis in em-mutation. Only if the same genetic background is used bryonic stem (ES) cells offer many advantages to the across experiments can ...
متن کاملAbnormal anxiety-related behavior in serotonin transporter null mutant mice: the influence of genetic background.
Serotonin transporter (5-HTT) null mutant mice provide a model system to study the role genetic variation in the 5-HTT plays in the regulation of emotion. Anxiety-like behaviors were assessed in 5-HTT null mutants with the mutation placed on either a B6 congenic or a 129S6 congenic background. Replicating previous findings, B6 congenic 5-HTT null mutants exhibited increased anxiety-like behavio...
متن کاملThe Loudness War: Background, Speculation and Recommendations
There is growing concern that the quality of commercially distributed music is deteriorating as a result of mixing and mastering practices used in the so-called “loudness war.” Due to the belief that “louder is better,” dynamics compression is used to squeeze more and more loudness into the recordings. This paper reviews the history of the loudness war and explores some of its possible conseque...
متن کاملGenetic background controls tumor development in PTEN-deficient mice.
PTEN is one of the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor genes in human cancers. Germ line mutations of PTEN have been detected in three rare autosomal-dominant disorders. However, identical mutations in the PTEN gene may lead to different symptoms that have traditionally been described as different disorders, such as Cowden disease, Lhermitte-Duclos disease, and Bannayan-Zonana syndromes. T...
متن کاملEmpathy Is Moderated by Genetic Background in Mice
Empathy, as originally defined, refers to an emotional experience that is shared among individuals. When discomfort or alarm is detected in another, a variety of behavioral responses can follow, including greater levels of nurturing, consolation or increased vigilance towards a threat. Moreover, changes in systemic physiology often accompany the recognition of distressed states in others. Emplo...
