Read MoreStrain specific behavioural response to environmental enrichment in the mouse
Strain differences in the response to environmental enrichment are assessed. While environmental enrichment increased reactivity and alertness in some strains (e.g., C57BL) it triggered anxiety in another strain (BALB/c).

Read MoreBehavioural differentiation of mice housed on different cage floors
The animals cleary avoided wire mesh for resting. However, they tended to spend more time in this compartment for eating.

Read MoreAnalysis of the marble burying response: marbles serve to measure digging rather than evoke burying
Marble burying has been suggested as a model of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) based on the fact that specific serotonin reuptake inhibitors selectively influenced this response. Studying the behaviour we observed that mice also exhibited intense digging activity in the absence...

Read MoreThe effects of cage cleaning on aggression within groups of male laboratory mice
Dominant animals tend to be more aggressive in an environment with familiar odor than in a strange environment. It was shown that complete cage cleaning - new cage and new substrate - can minimize aggression among male mice as compared...
