Genetic analysis of the behavioral response to d-amphetamine in mice
Abstract
The ambulatory and rearing responses to d-amphetamine were studied in a battery of recombinant inbred strains and in three closely related strains: C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J, and C57BL/6By. Differences in the increase of ambulation (stimulation) caused by d-amphetamine were seen between C57BL/6By and the other two C57BL strains. Analysis of F1 and backcross matings suggests a one-gene model. A mutation at the genetic locus that affects the response to d-amphetamine seems to have taken place in the C57BL/6By strain. Strain differences in the decrease of rearing behavior (inhibition) produced by the drug were observed in recombinant inbred strains. Although the genetic analysis is not conclusive, it appears to be compatible with regulation by a single major gene. The two single-gene models reported here (one affecting the stimulatory response and the other the inhibitory response to d-amphetamine) may be useful in the study of neural mechanisms involved in stimulation and inhibition of behavior by d-amphetamine.
