Elevated Plus Maze
Objective: Measurement of anxiety-like behaviors in mice using an elevated plus maze apparatus
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 2006 paper published in Behavioural Brain Research.

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 tested on the elevated plus maze to measure anxiety-like behaviors
Note: Elevated plus maze scores were used to confirm anxiety-like behaviors in specific strains

“Elevated plus maze scores confirmed high anxiety-like behaviors in A/J, BALB/cByJ, and 129S1/SvImJ, which could underlie components of their low social approach”
