The aim of the work was the evaluation of the modified Hole Board (mHB) to ensure that the test provides reproducible data for behavioural phenotyping within the behavioural screen of the GMC. Therefore, the mHB was compared to the Open Field regarding locomotion and anxiety-related behaviour in C3HeB/FeJ and C57BL/6J mice as well as effects of vision in the C3H strain. Furthermore, IVC-housing (acoustically attenuated from external stimuli and with limitated climbing facilities) was studied regarding its influences on behavioural phenotyping. Based on the re-analysis of already known behavioural phenotypes in PWD/Ph as well as CRHR1 mice and the analysis of 62 mutant mouse lines, the sensitivity and range of the mHB was proven. The analysis of the Ncdn mouse line was used to investigate the behavioural phenotyping beyond the mHB. The mHB was successfully established as a primary screen and ensures now a valid behavioural phenotyping in the own facility.
