Assessment of CFA Effects on Mouse Behavior Using a Functional Observation Battery. Locomotor Activity (Grid Cross), Exploration in the Open Field (Number of Rears), the Preyer Reflex, Animal Weight and Transfer Arousal were Quantitatively Assessed Over a Time Course of 6 Weeks After CFA or Saline Injection. There were no Significant Differences Between Groups at Any Time Point. n=6 Per Condition
