Effects of illumination on wall-leaving behavior and activity in three inbred mouse strains

The results clearly indicated that illumination levels is an important variable affecting the general activity of mice. The animals showed less fearfulness and emotionality under low illumination conditions.

Effect of differential environmental enrichment on brain weight and on acetylcholinesterase and cholinesterase activities in mice

Two inbred strains of mice were used in a replication of the Berkeley rat studies on the cerebral effects of differential environmental enrichment. Those raised in a complex environment and given extensive maze training showed significantly heavier brain weights and...

The effect of corncob bedding on reproductivity and leucine incorporation in mice

Preweaning mortality was increased when the mice were housed on corncob bedding (22%) when compared with pine sawdust bedding (13%).

Social factors and resistance to malaria in the mouse: Effects of group vs

Mortality rate of malaria-infected mice was related to number of animals per cage, population sizes ranging from 1 to 20. This was independent of age, sex, and number of animals per cage infected. Individually housed mice died as fast as...

Effects of postweaning enrichment and isolation upon emotionality and brain weight in the mouse

At weaning (21 days) 60 male C57BL/6J mice were placed into isolation cages while 60 others were grouped in enriched environments. Fifteen days later half of each group was shifted to the opposite housing condition while the other half continued...

Effects of enriched environment upon hoarding

95 mice from 2 inbred strains were exposed to a postweaning enriched environment or to a standard environment. The design allowed assessment of effects due to environment, genotype, and genotype * environment interactions. Environment enrichment differentially affected hoarding performance in...
