Neonatal handling and environmental enrichment effects on emotionality, novelty/reward seeking, and age-related cognitive and hippocampal impairments: focus on the Roman rat lines.

abstract：:Genetic strains of mice represent an important resource for research on the biological determinants of complex diseases and behavioral phenotypes. To date, the approaches used have had little success in identifying causal genes. We have evaluated brain gene expression in C57BL/6J (B6) and DBA/2J (D2) inbred mouse stra...
