Abstract

C57BL/Crgl mice, which have pigmented eyes, displayed more activity in a modified open-field situation than did A/Crgl animals, which are albinos. The difference between the strains was less under red than under white conditions of illumination. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
