Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to develop a rapid screening system for psychoactive drugs such as anxiolitics and/or untidepressants using the marble burying behavior (MB) in mice. First, the significant correlation was showed between physical properties of bedding materials and MB (FY 2007), and detailed replications were done and reported the results in an international journal (FY 2008-9). Then, it was shown that there were suitable bedding materials in the evaluation of some psychoactive drugs by MB (FY 2008). Furthermore, some results suggested that using an appropriate mouse strain should be more effective to evaluate certain drugs (FY 2009).
