Spontaneous locomotor activity was measured in a square arena (Muromachi Kikai) using a device outfitted with photo-beam detectors for monitoring horizontal and vertical activity. The total time traveled, total distance traveled, and total time exploring the central, middle, and outer areas were recorded. Mice were allowed to explore freely for 60 min while data were collected.
