Effects of MB treatment on performances in the elevated plus maze test and open field test. A-B: The number of risk assessment behavior (A), and time spent in open arms (B) were recorded and statistically compared. An open-arm entry was defined as all four of the paws being placed in the open arm. Risk assessment behavior was defined as a stretch-attend response where t the rat stretched its body forward with sniff or obvious scan. C-E: In the open field test, the number of lines crossed, rearing, and grooming in the open field were recorded and statistically analyzed. Data are presented as mean ± SE, n= 11 per group. * P<0.05 vs. sham control group, †
P<0.05 vs. I/R group.
