[Inclination of the visual field and postural deviations induced in CD1 mice. 2]

The effect of conflicting visual and kinesthetic information on body position in the mice has been investigated. Riess et al. (1950) reported that rats posture was different for 10 degrees to the right us. 10 degrees to the left inclination of the visual field. Neither this nor other effects on body position were observed submitting random breed mice to a similar procedure suggesting that a cognitive difference exists between the two species.
