The open field test is used to assess anxiety-related and exploratory behaviors. It is based on the natural tendency of an animal to explore and to protect itself which, in this test, translates to spending more time in the periphery of the open field arena than in the center.

Experimental groups in this study:
• None     • None     • None     • None     • None    

Procedures conducted:
• open field test  Locomotor, exploratory, and anxiety-related behavior. 20 min test some at 5 min intervals.

Mice: inbred w/CC8   8 strains   ♀♂   age 8-9wks   5 experimental groups
