Figure 6. Genetic correlation of sign-tracking and distance traveled in a novel open field in male A/J, C57BL/6J, 129S1/SvImJ, NOD/ShiLtJ, and CAST/EiJ inbred mouse strains.

Figure 6

A strong genetic correlation (r = .94, p < .05) between sign-tracking and distance traveled (cm) during a 20 min session in a novel open field was observed in male, but not female mice. Open field data (8 males per strain) were collected from a separate cohort of mice. A genetic correlation between goal-tracking and distance traveled in the open field was not observed in male or female mice.
