Note 1: OA = open arms, CA = closed arms, OF = open-field, EPM = elevated plus maze, LDB = light-dark box. Note 2: significant correlations (p < .00625) are expressed in bold and denoted by an asterisk and mirrored coefficients have been deleted. Note 3: OA, CA and % OA were registered in the EPM. EPM locomotion refers to total number of open and closed arm entries. OF locomotion indicates total amount of time (s) exhibiting forward locomotion in the apparatus. Number of transfers between compartments was considered an index of locomotion in the LDB.
