Abstract
Norms of reaction (NoRs) represent the phenotypic values of genotypes as functions of environmental parameters and permit the visualization of differences in phenotypic response of different genotypes. NoR graphs can be used to analyze interactions between genotypic and environmental factors during development to produce phenotypes in inbred strains of rats and mice. We describe the main features of NoRs, the history of their use in this context, and discuss several applications in behavioral neuroscience. In addition, we give a test for determining whether distinct strains have different NoRs.
