| abstractText | The relationships among body weight, cerebellum weight, cerebrum weight, maze-learning ability in a double T-maze, and discrimination learning in a Y-maze were studied in six inbred strains of mice and some of their F1 hybrids. The subjects were 131 male albino mice from 14 genotypic groups: five inbred groups and nine groups of crossbred offspring. Intra- and intergroup correlations were computed between all possible pairs of the anatomical and behavioral traits. A significant difference between the intragroup and intergroup correlations for any pair of variables was taken to indicate the presence of a genetic correlation between the two variables. On this basis, positive genetic correlations were indicated between T-maze learning ability and Y-maze learning ability, between body weight and T-maze learning ability, and possibility between body weight and both cerebellum and cerebrum weight and between cerebrum weight and T-maze learning ability. Negative genetic correlations were indicated between cerebellum weight and running time in both mazes and between total number of successes in the Y-maze and Y-maze running time. |
