| Group | Behavior |
||
| EC | DC (m) | TC (s) | |
| Control | 47.55 ± 1.77 | 6.40 ± 0.24 | 72.82 ± 3.91 |
| Stress | 44.48 ± 2.03 | 5.96 ± 0.26 | 61.93 ± 3.08* |
| Cagemate | 42.26 ± 1.99 | 5.76 ± 0.30 | 59.60 ± 3.63* |
Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Control (n = 44), stress (n = 42), and cagemate (n = 42). *p < 0.05 vs. control group. One-way ANOVA. EC, number of entries in the center; DC, distance traveled in the center; TC, time spent in the center.
