Scheme for intervention times and experimental methods. (A) Treatment protocols for mouse groups: gray, operant conditioning; black, tail suspension (TS); open, normal housing; black arrowhead, stand‐up exercise (SE) training. (B) During SE training, mice were administered 5‐ethynyl‐2’‐deoxyuridine on day 0, 1, or 2 of the SE‐training period (open arrows), and sacrificed 48 h later. (C) Diagram of the operant‐conditioning device. (D) Learning program for stand‐up training. An electrical shock was generated in a shock grid at 3 sec after displaying light and tone cues. The electrical shock was stopped when a mouse pushed the lever. The electrical shock was not used when a mouse pushed the lever in response to the cues before a shock was generated. The mice acquired the stand‐up exercise without an electrical shock after 7 days of learning (100 times/day).
