چکیده

The geotropic orientation of Rattus rattus (roof rat) obeys the equations previously found applicable for Rattus norvegicus. The former is more sensitive, geotiopically, and the numerical values of the constants in the equations for the two forms are found to differ significantly. Certain consequences of this difference are pointed out.

Analysis of the Geotropic Orientation of Young Rats. Ii

Adult hybrid rats from the cross of races A x B show a total capacity to vary their geotropic performance which is identical with that of their B parents. The proportionate modifiable variability of geotropic orientation also agrees quantitatively with that for the B parents. These relationships are not disturbed by the action of adrenin, which leads to a distortion of the theta vs. alpha curve...

Geotropic Orientation of Young Mice

The geotropic orientation of young mice, on a plane at angles between 20 degrees and 50 degrees to the horizontal, obeys the equations previously found for young rats by Crozier and Pincus (1926-27). When the individuals tested in such experiments are not of the utmost uniformity, the variability of the measured orientations is increased.

On the Geotropic Orientation of Young Mammals

Constants in equations of curves describing the geotropic orientation of young rats are repeatedly obtainable from litters of successive generations of the same inbred strains. Different inbred strains have been obtained for which the respective constants are quite unlike. Such findings show how necessary it is to employ biologically uniform material in experiments of this kind. And at the same...

Geotropic Orientation of Young Rats. by W. J. Crozier A~d G. Pincus

In describing the geotropic conduct of young rats (RaUus norvegicus) t we have stressed the fact that to obtain data suitable for quantitative treatment of the gravitational orientation it is necessary to employ individuals of the closest possible similarity. This has meant, in practice, employing litter mates from lines long inbred, under external conditions as nearly uniform as possible. The ...
