N
• females show normal vertical and horizontal locomotor activity and unaltered anxiety-related behavior
abnormal depression-related behavior ( J:227356 )
• females exhibit a lower latency to float on day 1 of the forced swim test and an increase in immobility on day 1 and 2 of the forced swim test
• in the learned helplessness paradigm of depression, females show more failures to escape and a tendency of increased latency to escape
