Gene Affected 不明 (繁殖結果より、常染色体優性遺伝を行う)
Origin A rat showing turning behavior was found in Slc:SD colony. The rat was backcrossed in WKY strains 13 times and then maintained by sib mating (N13F15).
Strain characteristics ETR develops turning behavior at 4-5 weeks of age. External stimuli such as noise and shaking can induce chasing his own tails.
Breeding Conditions normal breeding performance
