Abstract
Using inbred C57BL/10 and BALB/c strains of mice maintained by the Jackson laboratory, strain differences in learning, retention and extinction of an avoidance habit were demonstrated, as well as a difference in weight loss during an approach-avoidance conflict regimen set up by an electrified water bottle.Keywords
