Novelty Induced Hypophagia Test
Objective: Measurement of suppressed feeding behavior in response to novelty as an indicator of antidepressant-like effects
This is a Novelty Induced Hypophagia Test protocol using rat as the model organism. The procedure involves 1 procedural steps. Extracted from a 2012 paper published in Neuropsychopharmacology.

Novelty Induced Hypophagia Test
Conduct the novelty induced hypophagia test as one of the behavioral assays to measure antidepressant-like effects
Note: This test measures suppressed feeding behavior in response to novelty exposure. The test is used alongside other behavioral tests including Porsolt test and learned helplessness test.
