Figure 1
Animal models of stress. (A) Stressed vs control contrast: half of the animals from a genetically homogeneous group undergoes a certain stress procedure, while the other half receives a sham procedure. (B) Vulnerable vs resilient contrast: all animals from a group undergo the same stress procedure and are tested on stress-related symptomatology afterwards. The behaviourally most resilient animals are compared to the behaviourally most vulnerable animals.
