Intermale aggression and dark/light preference in ten inbred mouse strains
Abstract
The capacity of males to attack a passive standard opponent in a resident-intruder test and the preferences in a dark/light choice situation were measured in 200 male mice from 10 different inbred mouse strains. Large strain differences were found for all variables recorded, i.e., the proportion of attacking males, the time spent in the brightly lit box, and the number of transitions between the lit and the dark boxes. A strong negative correlation was found between the first two variables. This result suggests that males of more attacking strains have a higher level of anxiety but do not differ for their level of activity. An involvement of GABA as mediating factor is suggested.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
