The effect of mucetin and stejnulxin on the locomotor activity and exploration of pheasant chicks and mice in the open field test. The animals were placed in the open-field arena 1 min after the injection of mucetin and stejnulxin. The distinct exploration paths of the pheasant chicks (a) and the mice (b) within 10 and 3 min, respectively, were recorded by an automated infrared tracking system. A nonparametric test with a Dunn’s multiple comparison test were used to indicate the statistical significant differences between the groups (N = 6, * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001).
