Mathematical analysis of locomotor behavior by mice in a radial maze.

Abstract:

:We investigated the effects of beta-estradiol on the locomotor behavior of female mice in a radial maze. Data comprising the total distance traveled during each arm entry were obtained from video records of six consecutive daily recording sessions. Distributions of these data were bimodal for both ovariectomized control and beta-estradiol-treated ovariectomized subjects. Data were fit with the sum of two gamma probability distributions. Three parameters of the analytic fits were useful for quantifying the effect of beta-estradiol on locomotor behavior: (i) the sampling distance (median of the total distance traveled during each arm entry in the short-distance peak of a bimodal distribution), (ii) the committed distance (median of the total per-arm-entry distance traveled in the long-distance peak), and (iii) the partition distance (distance represented by the minimum between the two peaks). Analysis showed that for sampling-distance arm entries beta-estradiol typically had little if any significant effect on female locomotor behavior, whereas it significantly increased the total distance traveled during committed-distance arm entries on the first 2 days of exposure to the empty maze. beta-Estradiol also increased the ability of females to discriminate between empty maze arms and arms that contained intact or castrated male mice and partially prevented loss of this capacity after removal of the males.
