Figure 2

(a) The scores of crossings of rats ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ) during open-field tests. Ketamine administered at the dose of 10 mg/kg did not affect the scores of crossings, and pretreatment with 5 mg/kg tramadol did not affect any changes of scores of crossings ( 𝑃 > 0 . 0 5 ) . (b) The scores of rearings of rats ( 𝑛 = 1 0 ) during open-field tests. Ketamine administered at the dose of 10 mg/kg did not affect the scores of rearings, and pretreatment with 5 mg/kg tramadol did not affect any changes of scores of rearings ( 𝑃 > 0 . 0 5 ) .
