Impact of exercise on anxiolytic behavior. a Anxiolytic behavior as evaluated by the elevated plus maze (EPM) test. Analyses include time spent in the open arm (left), closed arm (middle), and the number of head dipping (right). b Anxiolytic behavior as evaluated by the dark/light (D/L) box test. The graph indicates time spent in the light box. c-d Anxiolytic behavior as evaluated by the Open Field (OF) test. The analyses include distance traveled (c) and time spent (d) in the center and margins of the cage by the inactive (left panels) and running (right panels) mice. Median with min. - max.; n = 15–16; *p < 0.05
