Forced Swim Test
Objective: Assessment of behavioral responses to chronic lithium treatment and GSK-3β haploinsufficiency in mice using the forced swim test
This is a Forced Swim Test protocol using mouse as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2004 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

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.

Behavioral assessment of mice in response to chronic lithium treatment and GSK-3β haploinsufficiency
Note: The forced swim test is mentioned as a key behavioral measure in the study, but specific procedural details (duration, water temperature, cylinder dimensions, etc.) are not provided in the extracted text
