Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Two Wistar rat lines selectively bred for either high (HAB) or low (LAB) anxiety-related behavior were used to identify neurobiological correlates of trait anxiety. METHODS: We used Fos expression for mapping of neuronal activation patterns in response to mild anxiety-provoking challenges. RESULTS: In both lines, exposure to an open field (OF) or the open arm (OA) of an elevated plus-maze induced Fos...
