Abstract

We are presenting on how social behavior and interactions can be affected by stress and isolation. We are going to have behavior testing in an open field test and monitor how long the stress and control rate will interaction. We will conduct a social awareness test where one rarely will be placed underneath an opaque but breathable bucket to see if the stress they experience affect their ability to smell and interact with rats within their proximity.
