9 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
A mood stabilizing and antidepressant response to lithium is only found in a subgroup of patients with bipolar disorder and depression. Identifying strains of mice that manifest differential behavioral responses to lithium may assist in the identification of genomic and other biologic factors that play a role in lithium responsiveness. Mouse strains were tested in the forced swim test (FST), tail suspension test...
