FIGURE 2.
Evaluation of the basal behavioral disturbances induced by the animal model of PTSD at weeks 6 and 7. Analysis of the freezing time (s) by the fear conditioning (FC) paradigm (A), the startle amplitude (B) by the acoustic startle response (ASR), and of the latency time (C) and food pellets consumption (D) by the novelty suppressed feeding test (NSFT). Columns represent the mean and vertical lines ± SEM. *, Values from PTSD-like mice that are significantly different from control mice (Student’s t-test, p < 0.001). Mice exposed to the PTSD-like model: N = 8; control mice: N = 8.
