Three types of behavioral movements (small and large movements, and rearing) were then recorded in five mice for 12 h at night. Values represent the means ± SD (frequency within 12 h per five mice) of three independent experiments.  = 5. < 0.05, < 0.01 compared to the control (unstressed) mice; < 0.05, < 0.01 compared to the stressed mice
