摘要：

Male Wistar rats Shoe:Wist(Shoe) were tested in the elevated plus-maze under three different illumination levels (30, 300, and 900 Ix). It was found that illumination did not change percentage of time spent in closed arms, number of closed arm entries, or time spent on open arms, or total arm entry. This confirms earlier findings that rat's behavior in the elevated plus-maze is independent of light levels.
