Open-field behaviour, growth rate and life span in the black-hooded rat
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development
|August 1, 1984
Abstract:
The life span of the black-hooded rat has been studied in relation to two behavioural variables: (1) habituated level of responding; and (2) emotional reactivity in the open-field arena. The results indicate a relationship between the open-field measures and life span and also with growth rate measures.
