<p>This review compiles the results of a series of studies on Hatano high- and low-avoidance animals (HAA and LAA, respectively) established at the Hatano Research Institute, Food and Drug Safety Center, Japan. The HAA and LAA lines were selected and bred from Sprague Dawley rats for high and low avoidance learning, respectively, in a shuttlebox task since 1985. Although Hatano rats were selected only based on their behavioral traits in the active avoidance task, strain differences between the HAA and LAA lines were also observed in their stress responses and reproductive functions. However, the most noticeable finding of Hatano rats is a matched result in both active and passive avoidance tasks. The HAA and LAA lines are useful for next-generation toxicological studies, because the hereditary characters of behaviors or endocrine functions are well controlled.</p>
