Individual Differences In The Forced Swimming Test And The Effect Of Environmental Enrichment: Searching For An Interaction
(Neuroscience 265(1):95-107, 2014-02-05)
Animals with low and high immobility in the forced
swimming test (FST) differ in a number of neurobehavioral
factors. A growing body of evidence suggests that the exposure
to enriched environments mediates a number ...
