    Unlike most laboratory mouse strains, the C57BL/6 drinks alcoholic beverages voluntarily. It is more susceptible than average to morphine addiction, atherosclerosis, and age-related hearing loss. [11] When compared directly to BALB/c mice, C57BL/6 mice also express both a robust response to social rewards [43] [44] and empathy. [45]

    Rodents have been employed in biomedical experimentation from the 1650s. [1] Rodent studies up to the early 19th century were mainly physiological or toxicological.The first rodent behavioral study was carried out in 1822, a purely observational study [2], while quantitative rodent behavioral testing began in the late 19th century [1] [2].

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:C57BL/6

    C57BL/6 was created by Clarence Little, the first director and founder of JAX. However, he created the strain in 1921 (see here on the JAX site), whereas the Jackson Labs didn't come into being until 1929. In addition, JAX may be the largest supplier of C57BL/6J, but it probably is not the largest supplier of some other substrains, such as ...
