Hereditary variation in rates of ontogenetic formation of exploratory behavior, glucocorticoid functions, and neurotransmitter systems in wild Norway rats during selection for absence of defensive response towards humans (domestication) is demonstrated. Interrelated shifts in the development of behavior and neurohormonal systems are shown. A comparison of the data obtained with the results of domestication of another species-silver fox-suggests that equally vectorized selection of animals belonging to different taxa produces equally directed changes of their regulatory systems.
研究表明，在对野生挪威大鼠进行针对无防御人类反应（驯化）的选择过程中，其探索行为、糖皮质激素功能和神经递质系统的个体发育形成速率存在遗传变异。行为和神经激素系统的发育呈现出相互关联的变化。将所获数据与另一个物种——银狐——的驯化结果进行比较，表明对不同分类群动物进行同等矢量化选择会使其调节系统产生同等方向的变化。
