Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop RT-based screening system for new psychotropic drags. We succeeded in developing a novel depression model rat using a small mobile robot. We then performed several different behavior tests on these rats to analyze those characteristics, and constructed a database from the results of these tests. Vector analysis was then conducted on the database to find effects of psychotropic drugs as proper vector.
