All NA-PFC pairs tested (n = 8) showed enhanced correlation during the bar press compared to the exploratory period (Figure 1A).
First, mice were subjected to an open field test: In line with previous results, sham-treated runners, with high levels of neurogenesis, exhibited less activity and reduced exploratory behavior compared to sedentary controls (Fig. 4A).
Treating with SYN also significantly reduced locomotion and exploratory behavior compared to the N-GFP group (p<0.05, Figure 11B), but the reductions were significantly less severe than in the N-SYN group.
OXYS rats showed decreased exploratory activity compared to Wistar rats (F1,25 = 22.8, p < 0.0001) (Fig. 1C).
As such, it would significantly enhance the quality of information extracted from exploratory experiments compared to traditional metabolic flux analysis.
Juncos that had recently colonized the urban wintering habitat to breed showed reduced adrenocortical responses to acute stress (nesting females only) and bolder exploratory behavior compared to breeding juncos in the original mountain habitat (Atwell et al., 2012).
Unlike systematic reviews where assessments are made about the quality of the studies included and 'apples are compared to apples', scoping reviews are exploratory and utilize broader inclusion criteria such as including both qualitative and quantitative studies.
Three-month-old Cln3 Δex7/8 females, however, showed decreased exploratory activity as compared to C57BL/6J WT females (Fig. 1, middle graph).
In agreement with previous reports, SHR displayed increased locomotor activity and increased exploratory behavior when compared to WKY in the open field, evidenced by reduced time to enter the inner zone of the open-field, greater frequency of entries into the inner zone and increased time spent in the inner zone of the open-field [ 59- 63].
