Spontaneous activities of mice in the open field test (OFT). (a) Quantitative analysis of the total distance covered in varied groups. (b) Quantitative analysis of the percentage of time spent on the central grid in varied groups. (c) Quantitative analysis of the percentage of distance covered on the central grid in varied groups. (d) Quantitative analysis of the number of rearings in varied groups. (e) Quantitative analysis of the number of defecations in varied groups. (f) Quantitative analysis of the frequency of grooming in varied groups. No great diversities were found between varied groups. Sham: control group; I/R: ischemia-reperfusion group; I/R + Dex: dexamethasone group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 12 in each group).
