Journal Article
Differential effect of the rd mutation on rods and cones in the mouse retina.
TL;DR: A central to peripheral temporal gradient of degeneration exists, such that some rod nuclei persist in the far periphery up to day 47, but none is found at day 65.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circadian photoreception in the retinally degenerate mouse (rd/rd).
TL;DR: No photoreceptor outersegments were identified in the retina of rd/rd animals (80–100 days of age), but a small number of perikarya that were immunoreactive for cone opsins, and even fewer cells that contained rod opsin were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity and integration in a visual pathway for circadian entrainment in the hamster (Mesocricetus auratus)
TL;DR: The results suggest that the visual pathways that convey light information to the mammalian circadian pacemaker possess several unique characteristics that may make this visual system unresponsive to environmental ‘noise’ that would interfere with the entrainment of circadian rhythms to light‐dark cycles.

Genetic variability in forced and voluntary endurance exercise performance in seven inbred mouse strains

TL;DR: The goal of this study was to characterize the genetic contribution to both forced and voluntary exercise performance and to determine whether performance in these two paradigms is controlled by similar genetic influences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radial-maze performance and structural variation of the hippocampus in mice: a correlation with mossy fibre distribution.
TL;DR: Clear strain differences were found for performance on the third day of training, which correlated very strongly with the size of the hippocampal intra- and infrapy ramidal mossy fibre terminal fields in iip-MF.

Open-Field Behavior in Mice: Evidence for a Major Gene Effect Mediated by the Visual System
TL;DR: It was concluded that there is a major gene effect on the quantitative traits of open-field activity and defecation which is mediated by the visual system and that albino mice are more photophobic than pigmented mice under conditions of bright illumination.
Journal ArticleDOI
The visual cliff test for the study of visual depth perception in the mouse.
TL;DR: No significant differences between strains with pigmented and non-pigmented retinas were obtained with the apparatus and techniques employed, and depth perception was absent in this strain of mice.
