Comparative Evaluation of Forced Swim Test and Tail Suspension Test as Models of Negative Symptom of Schizophrenia in Rodents

Figure 1

Day-dependent effect of ketamine administration on enhanced immobility in the tail suspension test and forced swim test in mice. Bar diagram representing the day-dependent study on the effects of chronic treatment of ketamine and antipsychotic drugs, and their withdrawal, on the immobility duration (in secs) of mice in tail suspension test and forced swim test. Results are represented as mean ± SEM with 𝑛=8 in each group. **𝑃<0.01, ***𝑃<0.001 when compared with control group; ^##𝑃<0.01, ^###𝑃<0.001 when compared with the ketamine-induced group (ket).
