2015, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :A social interaction test for rodents is commonly used to evaluate aggression anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors after a variety of manipulations. This test was previously utilized with different species such as rats, mice [41] and gerbils [42]. For the present study, the social interactions test was performed by placing together two animals from the same group in an unfamiliar testing arena.
