Dissecting emotional dimensions in animal models an essential prerequisite for investigating the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie anxiety.

Hyperanxious were reduced elevated plus-maze by selection pressure, a modified hole board test revealed dissection of their emotionality precisely defined dimensions. This enabled clear differentiation from other including risk assessment behavior exploration. Factors extracted analyzing data multiple-test battery corresponded particular characteristics rather than approach might help develop specific treatment strategies anxiety disorders.
