Immediately thereafter, each animal was allowed to enter a free exploratory apparatus (70×90 cm) connected with the home cage, by leaving the sliding door open for 10 minutes.
An animal is usually considered anxious if it spends less time in the lit box of a light-dark apparatus, does less exploration of the open arms of a plus-maze apparatus and spends less time in the novel side of the free exploratory apparatus [4], [8], [15], [36], [43].

LPS-treated animals spent more time in the closed arms, exhibited fewer entries to the open arms of an elevated plus-maze, reduced exploratory behavior in the holeboard apparatus, and increased risk assessment behavior in the open field apparatus [ 194– 194].
Exploratory activity was measured using a Y-maze apparatus (arm length: 40 cm, arm bottom width: 3 cm, arm upper width: 10 cm, height of wall: 12 cm).
To assess anxiety in mice in an unfamiliar environment, exploratory activity was analyzed in an automated hole-board apparatus.
Mouse feeding and exploratory behaviors were analyzed using a food search compulsion apparatus, which was designed to distinguish between the two behaviors under standard living conditions.
Spontaneous exploratory behavior was evaluated with a transparent open field apparatus (24 × 24 cm), placed in a quiet room illuminated with white light.
Mouse feeding and exploratory behaviors were analyzed using a food-search-compulsion-apparatus (FSCA), which was designed to distinguish between the two behaviors under standard living conditions.

First, head-dipping could be indicative of a neophilic response that decreases as the animal becomes familiar with the apparatus, i.e. head-dipping represents directed exploratory behaviour that drops as the apparatus loses its novelty.
