SPERM QUALITY IN RATS PREDISPOSED TO THE MANIFESTATION OF CATATONIC REACTIONS by M. A. Kleshchev, T. A. Alekhina, L. V. Osadchuk

“…The GC (“genetic” and “catatonia”) rat strain was obtained from the Wistar rat strain by a long selection (78 generations) for the catatonic type of reaction and is a model of schizophrenic and depressive disorders in humans. It is known that selection for behavior including catatonic reactions results in neuroendocrine, reproductive and morphological changes in animals. …”
