Abstract

A behavioral task insensitive to inherent sensory and motor limitations, specifically a startle response habituation technique, was used to investigate genetic (strains) and developmental (age) effects on behavior. All mice tested using two procedures exhibited evidence for habituation which was dependent on strain, age, and length of the testing process. Exploitation of this simple technique may permit clarification of more complex types of behavior.

In this study, the first three generations of laboratory-reared, 10-day-old pups of the N:NIH strain were examined for ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) rates in response to 2 min of isolation. The purpose of the study was to determine baseline USV rates in these progenitor (PR1, PR2, PR3) generations
