FIGURE 4.
Effect of LPS and US on the behavior of healthy and depressed mice. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFT. (B) The total distance traveled in 5 min is significantly decreased in LPS-treated mice compared with mice injected saline. Schematic diagrams of the FST (C) and TST (E). After US treatment, immobility time in the FST (D) and TST (F) is significantly reduced 24 h after LPS injection. LPS, lipopolysaccharide; US, ultrasound stimulation; PFC, prefrontal cortex; OFT, open field test; FST, forced swimming test; TST, tail suspension test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001.
