In this study, Åhlgren and Voikar demonstrate that C57BL/6N and C57BL/6J mice from different vendors show substantial behavioral differences, although they are derived from the same strain. These results suggest that different mouse strains and substrains should be included in experiments to address the lack of reproducibility.
