Elevated plus maze test for mice

Output Details

The elevated plus maze is a classical test to screen anxiety-like behaviors in laboratory animals. This protocol is optimized to mice. The protocol also describes the use of Biobserve Viewer, which is is a software to track online the movement of animals. Generally, less time spent in the open arms of the maze is associated with higher levels of anxiety.
