Modeling Social Behavior in the Rat and Mouse

Robert J. Blanchard

Ethological analyses of social behaviors in rats and mice focus on systematic variation of core features such as habitat size and spacing possibilities, along with microanalyses of interactive behaviors. BTBR T+tf/J mice, show different, but complementary, autism-like social behaviors in both large Visible Burrow Systems, and under close social proximity.
