Description
Katharina Gryksa and seven colleagues compare social and emotional behavior in two common lab mouse strains, in a twenty twenty-four study. The strains, a black line called BL6 and a white line called CD1, differ in genes and in stress responses. The team tested males as teens and as adults on anxiety, fear, social acts, and pain sense. They also mapped the oxytocin system, a hormone web tied to social behavior.
BL6 mice were more anxious, less social, and more shaken by trauma at both ages. CD1 mice calmed with age, while BL6 mice grew more fearful. Oxytocin receptor patterns differed by strain and age. The authors urge care in picking strain and age for stress research.
