Behavioral Neuroscience: Who’s Afraid of the C57BL/6 Mouse?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Behavioral paradigms in which laboratory rodents express behaviors that their wild counterparts presumably need every day are rare: a novel prey-capture model for laboratory mice has been developed for examining the neurophysiological underpinnings of prey capture in mice.

Virulence assessment of a Neospora caninum isolate for inbred C57BL/6 mouse
Neospora caninum (N. caninum) is an apicomplexan parasite and causes abortion and congenital neosporosis in cattle worldwide. In this study, we evaluate the virulence of a N. caninum isolate on mouse strain C57BL/6. Six groups of five mice C57BL/6 were intraperitoneally inoculated with 1 × l07, 1.5 × l07, 2 × l07, 3 × l07 and 4 × l07 tachyzoites and a control inoculum of DMEM, respectively. Cli...
متن کاملAll (C57BL/6) Mice are not Created Equal
between the C57BL/6N and the C57BL/6C substrains (Mekada et al., 2009). Given the status of " C57BL/6 " as a standard genetic background for behavioral studies with mutants (Crawley et al., 1997), it is important to compare the substrains and describe any differences. Indeed a number of studies demonstrated significant differences between C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N on measures of ethanol preference,...
متن کاملMouse strain differences in opiate reward learning are explained by differences in anxiety, not reward or learning.
Gene-targeting techniques to produce null mutations provide a powerful method for evaluating the contribution of particular candidate genes involved in motivation. The embryonic stem cell lines in which homologous recombination is undertaken are derived from 129 mice, but because of the impoverished performance of 129 mice on a number of behavioral tasks, mice chimeric for the mutation are ofte...
متن کاملWestern Blot Analysis of Sera from Leishmania major-Infected BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice
In Leishmania (L.) major-infected BALB/c mice Th2-type cells results in disease progression, whereas C57BL/6-infected mice mount a Th1-type response, which leads to control of the infection. Th2 response correlates with IgG1 whereas, Th1 response supports switching to IgG2a subclasses. Since IgG isotype-dominated response depends on different CD4 + T cell subsets, we studied the antigenic profi...
متن کاملP30: Effects of Hemin on Ca2+Influx in Neurons of C57BL/6 Mouse Brain
Excitotoxicity results in a significant increase in Ca2+ influx; essentially from open N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) channels that cause a secondary rise in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. It is correlated with neuronal death induced by Ca2+ overload. Dysfunction of NMDARs is associated with excitotoxic neuronal death in neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, the effects of...
