TY - JOUR PY - 1964// TI - Defecation in stressful and non-stressful situations JO - Psychonomic science A1 - Lindzey, Gardner A1 - Winston, Harvey D. A1 - Whitney, Glayde D. SP - 3 EP - 4 VL - 1 IS - 1-12 N2 - If individual and strain differences in open-field defecation reflect a stable alimentary trait that is not indicative of response to stress, the rate of defecation in the open-field situation should be correlated with defecation in the home cage. This association was tested for 106 mice representing four different genotypes. The evidence indicates that home cage defecation rate has little association with open-field performance. Moreover, the relation between these two indices appears to vary with genotype.
