(9) Thus, in spite of the degeneration and failure of development of the nigrostriatal innervation in weaver mice, D1 binding in the weaver's striatum undergoes the elaborate change in distribution of these sites that is a hallmark of normal striatal development.
(10) In regard to swimming performance, the weaver mutants swam with less ability but with more vigor than normal mice.

Weever
Definition:
(n.) Any one of several species of edible marine fishes belonging to the genus Trachinus, of the family Trachinidae. They have a broad spinose head, with the eyes looking upward. The long dorsal fin is supported by numerous strong, sharp spines which cause painful wounds.
