"These findings suggest underlying functional #stability to the circuits that support exploration in female mice, reveal a surprising degree of specificity in individual behavior, and provide empirical support for the #inclusion of both #sexes in #experiments querying spontaneous behaviors"

Mouse spontaneous behavior reflects individual variation rather than estrous state
Levy et al. track open-field behavior of female mice over weeks and find that behavior reflects individual identity far more than estrous state. Open-field exploration patterns in males are much more variable than in females, arguing for the inclusion of both sexes in studies of spontaneous behaviors.
