Genetic mapping of escalated aggression in wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms: association with serotonin-related genes

The Japanese wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms (MSM) retains a wide range of traits related to behavioral wildness, including high levels of emotionality and avoidance of humans. In this study, we observed that MSM showed a markedly higher level of aggression than the standard laboratory strain C57BL...
