Chronological tree and experimental design of the C57BL substrains. (A) The chronological tree of the thirteen C57BL/6 and C57BL/10 substrains since C.C. Little's initial C57BL colony in 1921. Major events that established each substrain are positioned along the y-axis. Today, the B6 and B10 substrains are separated by over 300 generations. B10 substrains are shown in red (left) and B6 substrains are shown in blue (right). Position along the x-axis does not convey any measure of time or relatedness. (B) Timeline of the behavioral testing battery. Mice completed the open field, locomotor response to 10 mg/kg of cocaine, conditioned fear, prepulse inhibition, and forced swim tests. Mice rested for a week in between each test.
