SC mice exhibited anxiety-like behavior in the novelty suppressed feeding test but not depressive-like behavior in the forced swim test. (A) SC mice had increased latency to eat in a novel environment after overnight fasting. (B) SC mice ate less in 5 minutes after the start of food consumption in the NSF. (C and D) Depressive-like behavior as indicated by immobility in the FST was not affected by SC. Data shown are mean ± S. E. M. (n = 12 for control, n = 16 for SC). * P < 0.05.
