Q. A. T. Nguyen, D. Hillis, S. Katada, T. Harris, C. Pontrello, T. Garland, S. Haga-Yamanaka
This study shows that selective breeding for voluntary wheel running in mice leads to genetic differentiation in the vomeronasal organ, suggesting chemosensory receptors as quantitative trait loci for exercise behavior.
