Open field test for mice

Output Details

The open field test is a classical test for the quantification of locomotor activity and anxiety-like behaviors in laboratory animals. This protocol is optimized for mice, and it includes the automatic analysis of their movement by Biobserve Viewer. Higher amount of time spent next to the walls of the arena is associated with higher levels of anxiety.
