Inbred Strains of Rats: THA

THA

Inbr. F27.

Colour: Albino.

Genet. c.

Origin: Developed from Jcl-Wistar stock by inbreeding with selection for a high rate of electric shock avoidance by lever pressing. The strain has good learning performance not only in the Sidman avoidance task, but also in two other tasks when compared with the Jcl-Wistar stock, though the sensitivity of the strain to electric shocks or heat stress was less (Shigeta et al 1990).
