Sentence examples for level of locomotion from inspiring English sources

In response to a sudden stimulus, PU males and C females showed a higher initial level of locomotion compared to C males, which only gradually declined, while PU females started at a high initial rate, changing rapidly to immobility.

The ANOVA revealed no significant effect of genotype or genotype x time interaction, which indicates equivalent abilities of habituation in a new environment and equivalent basal level of locomotion.

Thus, employing a relative simple in-vivo test (the open field) can provide insight into the properties of satellite cells, so that the higher the level of locomotion, the higher the chance that satellite cells produce high percents of myogenic clones.

The behaviour cannot be linked to any difference in the level of locomotion, as not only were there no strain-related differences for entries into the closed arms, but in the free exploratory test, the general activity of B6 mice was higher than ABP mice.

Only a main effect of sex was found [F (1, 17) = 0.021 p < 0.01], indicating a higher level of locomotion in females (see Figure  1).

In such an arena, the overall level of locomotion and time spent in the centre of the arena (which is assumed to be aversive to rodents) are often interpreted as measures of exploratory behaviour.

Locomotion out of the nest: dams from the three groups showed indistinguishable levels of locomotion out of the nest (treatment, F2,19 = 0.8, NS).

Levels of locomotion did not differ between the three groups neither in adolescence nor in adulthood (treatment, H = 2.0, df = 2, NS).

Interestingly, the levels of locomotion significantly correlated with the abundance of myogenic clones, indicating that locomotion level can be used as a predictor for the myogenic properties of satellite cells.

However, reports show that high levels of locomotion can also reflect high fear levels in the arena, individuals using in this case an active strategy of response (escape behaviour and/or active search for conspecifics) [68] [71].

It is important to note that these alterations in social behaviors were not confounded by reduced levels of general exploration or activity: during trial 2 of the three compartment test R6/1 mice displayed higher levels of locomotion and a similar overall exploration of the social and non-social stimuli compared to their wild type littermates.
