Notes

• Experiment
  QTLs associated with novelty/stress-induced locomotor activation were mapped using a series of recombinant inbred (RI) and recombinant congenic (RC) strains derived from C57BL/6J and A/J progenitor strains. Progenitor strain C57BL/6J exhibits greater activation of locomotor activity when placed in a novel open field environment compared to progenitor strain A/J. 1159 animals from the AXB/BXA RI series were genotyped with a panel of 780 polymorphic markers. 13 AcB and 31 BcA RC strains were genotyped witha panel of 625 polymorphic markers.
  
  On mouse Chromosome 13 linkage to locomotor activation in a novel environment was detected at 47 cM near D13Mit110. This locus is designated Nsila9 (novelty/stress induced locomotor activation 9). The A/J-derived allele is associated with increased locomotor activation in the AcB population whereas the C57BL/6J-derived allele is associated with increased locomotor activation in the AXB/BXA RI population. A potential candidate gene mapping near this locus is Crhbp (52cM).
