Study of the effect of extract of Thymus vulgaris on anxiety in male rats
There is some evidence in traditional medicine for the effectiveness of Thymus vulgaris (百里香 bǎi lǐ xiāng) in the treatment of anxiety in humans. The elevated plus-maze (EPM) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds.

Effects of methimepip and JNJ-5207852 in Wistar rats exposed to an open-field with and without object and in Balb/c mice exposed to a radial-arm maze [PDF]
The role of the histamine H3 receptor (H3R) in anxiety is controversial, due to limitations in drug selectivity and limited validity of behavioral tests used in previous studies. In the present report, we describe two experiments.

Alprazolam modifies animal behaviour on elevated plus-maze.
Exposure to elevated plus-maze is known to evoke approach-avoidance conflict behaviour and anxiety related movements in mice. Alprazolam (0.1 to 1 mg/kg, ip) produced dose dependant increase in antianxiety response, 100% first preference to open arm, open arm entries and exploratory behaviour.

A common and unstable copy number variant is associated with differences in Glo1 expression and anxiety-like behavior [PDF]
Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) has been implicated in anxiety-like behavior in mice and in multiple psychiatric diseases in humans. We used mouse Affymetrix exon arrays to detect copy number variants (CNV) among inbred mouse strains and thereby identified a ...

Anxiolytic effect of methylene blue microinjected into the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter
The dorsal periaqueductal gray (DPAG) has been implicated in the behavioral and autonomic expression of defensive reactions. Several results suggest that, along with GABA, glutamate and serotonin, nitric oxide (NO) may play a role in defense reactions ...
