From: Effect of simultaneous testing of two mice in the tail suspension test and forced swim test
Behaviour due to the nature of the demonstrator inside the cylinder in the Porsolt forced swim test. (a) Schematic diagram of the experiment. Graphs showing the total number of immobility episodes (b) and the immobility episodes during each 1-min period (c). Graphs showing the total time spent immobile (d) and the proportion of time spent immobile during each 1-min period (e). All data are presented as box plots (b, d) or means ± standard errors (c, e). Statistical significance is represented by asterisks: *p < 0.05, +p < 0.1. The p values were calculated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in (b) and (d) and two-way repeated-measures ANOVA in (c) and (e). SEM: standard error of the mean. control: n = 10, high immobility: n = 10, imipramine: n = 10, stationary black toy: n = 10, moving black toy: n = 10. Respective mean and SEM are listed in Table 4.
