Abstract

High and low immobility on the tail suspension test is a common tool for assessing antidepressant drug effects. However, those parameters might be a natural phenotype present in the mice population and could be selected through behavior evaluation without an induced-drug behavior need. High immobility has been also related to depressed-like behavior, that in humans are characterized by wide range of symptoms, such as anhedonia, anxiety and tiredness.
