Notes

• Experiment
  Nineteen measures of sensorial, motor and body weight were subject to analysis in 389 female and male mice derived from reciprocal F1 and F2 mating of strains C57BL6/By and NZB/BlNJ . These traits were mapped via QTL analysis. In total 36 traits were mapped to chromosomes of which a number reached a threshold LOD score of 3.13 and were thus concidered significant. One such QTL, visual placing (vispl) mapped with mouse Chromosome 11 marker D11Mit48 with a LOD score of 4.05. NZB/BlNJ-derived alleles confer later appearance of visual placing behavior compared to C57BL/6By. This was measured the day after eyelid opening by suspending pups by the tail and lowering them towards a pencil without the vibrissae touching it. The pup was observed whether or notit extended the paw to grasp the pencil.
