Table 1.

Different training and surgery procedures do not alter the locomotor and exploratory activities evaluated in the open field, and the anxiety behavior evaluated in the elevated plus maze.

	Control	Aβ	PE	Aβ + PE	CE	Aβ + CE	P-value
Open field
Rearings (n)	33.4 ± 9.58	33.2 ± 6.85	39.4 ± 12.13	40.4 ± 10.24	37.6 ± 7.39	39.0 ± 11.30	0.33
Crossings (n)	98.5 ± 27.73	108.0 ± 16.43	98.9 ± 18.13	124.2 ± 24.10	125.3 ± 20.36	118.0 ± 17.25	0.09
Plus maze
Time in open arms (s)	194.9 ± 45.37	221.1 ± 41.07	200.6 ± 32.36	197.5 ± 48.16	213.8 ± 37.74	211.7 ± 39.56	0.58

Data are expressed as mean ± SD of the number of crossings and rearings on the OF, and of the percentage of time spent in the open arms of the PM (n = 12 per group; P > 0.05; one-way ANOVA).
