Left- and right-pawed adult female Wistar rats were subjected to forced swimming on two consecutive days. Compared to the right-pawed group, left- pawed rats displayed significantly increased immobility from the first to the second swim test and remained significantly more immobile in the second swim test. Both groups performed similarly in spatial learning in the Morris water maze suggesting that left- pawed rats are differentially and specifically susceptible to depressogenic treatment.
对成年雌性右利手和左利手Wistar大鼠连续两天进行强迫游泳实验。与右利手组相比,左利手大鼠在第一次到第二次游泳测试中静止不动的时间显著增加,并且在第二次游泳测试中仍保持明显更长时间的静止不动。两组在莫里斯水迷宫的空间学习中表现相似,这表明左利手大鼠对致抑郁处理有不同且特定的易感性。
