Male Wistar rats received orally daily minocycline or vehicle starting 2 days before MI surgery. Behavioural studies were carried out 6 to 8 weeks after surgery with first the sucrose preference test (SPT), followed by Morris Water Maze test (MWM), forced swim test (FST) and fear condition test (FCT). Except for the SPT, the behaviour tests were performed between 7:00 am and 2:00 pm in the dark cycle which started at 3:00 am.
