Effects of Serotonergic Anxiolytics on the Freezing Behavior in the Elevated Open-Platform Test in Mice
Freezing behavior is thought to be a sign of fear in animals. We examined whether the freezing behavior during the elevated open-platform stress, which is a psychological stressor without painful stimulus, is modulated by serotonergic neurotransmission and would be a useful marker for screening anxi...
