EMD386088, imipramine, and s-citalopram were injected i.p. 30 min, while reboxetine, moclobemide and bupropion were given i.p. 60 min before the test. Values represent the mean ± SEM during 5-min test session compared to the respective group: vehicle + vehicle group *p < 0.05, NS not significant (two-way ANOVA is followed by the Bonferroni’s post hoc test), N = 6
