[Vertical discrimination in a pure strain of mice (DBA). I].
With the perspective of developing a model of field dependence in small mammals, 10 DBA mice were tested for their ability to choose between a vertical and 25 degree tilted alley in a tridimensional maze. Results have shown that when alternative strategies are prevented, mice have considerable difficulty in discriminating verticality on the basis of kinesthetic and visual cues.
