Abstract
Running speed during runway conditioning was measured for 567 rats from 12 inbred strains: ACI, A990, A35322, F344, inR, IR, MNR/Har, MNRA, MR/Har, TS1, TS3, WAG. The results provide parametric data for methodological use and add to the standardization of these strains as behaviorally defined lines.
