title: Spontaneous alternation and exploration in weaver mutant mice.
abstract: Weaver mutant mice engaged less in motor activity and hole poking. Weaver mice alternated spontaneously in a 4-trial but not a 2-trial test. These results are similar to those of a previous study with staggerer mutants, in that both are less active. However, weaver mutants are less affected in the spontaneous alternation measure.
