Elevated Plus Maze
Objective: Assessment of anxiety-like behavior in mice using an elevated plus maze task
This is a Elevated Plus Maze protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps, 1 equipment items. Extracted from a 2002 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.

Elevated Plus Maze Testing
Mice were placed in the elevated plus maze to assess anxiety-like behavior. The maze contains open and closed arms at an elevated height.
Note: Performance in anxiety tasks was measured and compared between α5−/− mice and wild-type controls
