title: [The role of behavioral hyperactivation in the formation of anxiety in rodents].
abstract: Rodents are a useful tool for studying various stress behaviours, including anxious. Physiological arousal is traditionally thought to accompany anxiety in human and animals. The paper reviews behavioural and pharmacological data on effects of anxiety observed in rodents at different arousal levels. The results indicate that mild arousal might have "paradox" anti-anxiety effects on rodent behaviour while higher arousal level is a pro-anxiety factor. The concept of "pleasurable emotion" produced in rodents by mild arousal is supported.
