Abstract
The present study examined strain differences in the light-dark preference among four strains of rats. The test was done in the home-cage situation under 12L:12D cycles. Data from four strains were compared: BN/Kyo, BDIX/Nem, Wistar/Nu, and F344/NSlc. These strains differed in the light-dark preference measured by the ratio of the time spent in the field area of the home cage during the light period. BN/Kyo and BDIX/Nem spent the most time (approx. 23%) in the field during the light period, while F344/NSlc spent the least time (approx. 5%). Wistar/Nu fell between the two (approx. 12%).Entities:
