| Abstract: | A very dilute solution of Nux Vomica 200 plant alkaloid was applied onto the tongue of Wistar rats. The level of rats' anxiety was estimated by their behavior in elevated plus-maze. The dry application led to substantial changes in rats' behavior. In "passive" rats previously defined by the forced swimming tests changes in behavior were most prominent. The possible influence of the drug under study on the adaptive abilities of this group of animals is discussed. |
