Individual Differences in Behavioural Despair Predict Brain GSK-3beta Expression in Mice: The Power of a Modified Swim Test by Tatyana Strekalova, Nataliia Markova, Elena Shevtsova, Olga Zubareva, Anastassia Bakhmet, Harry M. Steinbusch, Sergey Bachurin, Klaus-Peter Lesch

“…Repeated swim exposure was accompanied by a lower pGSK-3beta/GSK-3beta ratio. A replacement of the second or the final swim sessions with exposure to the context of testing resulted in increased GSK-3beta mRNA level similar to the effects of swimming, while exclusion of the second testing prevented these changes. …”
