Anxiety-related behaviors in mice are often assessed over short periods starting immediately after introducing the animals in a dedicated apparatus. In these usual conditions (5-10 min periods), the cerebellar Lurcher mutants showed disinhibited behaviors characterized by abnormally high exploration of the aversive areas in the elevated plus-maze test. We nevertheless observed that this disinhibition sharply weakened after 10 min. We therefore decided to further investigate the influence of the disinhibition on the intrinsic and anxiety-related exploratory behaviors in Lurcher mice, with a special focus on familiarization effects. To this end, we used an innovative apparatus, the Dual Maze, permitting to tune the familiarization level of animals to the experimental context before they are faced with more (open configuration of the device) or less (closed configuration of the device) aversive areas. Chlordiazepoxide administration in BALB/c mice in a preliminary experiment confirmed both the face and the predictive validity of our device as anxiety test and its ability to measure exploratory motivation. The results obtained with the Lurcher mice in the open configuration revealed that 20 min of familiarization to the experimental context abolished the behavioral abnormalities they exhibited when not familiarized with it. In addition, their exploratory motivation, as measured in the closed configuration, was comparable to that of their non-mutant littermates, whatever the level of familiarization applied. Exemplifying the interest of this innovative device, the results we obtained in the Lurcher mutants permitted to differentiate between the roles played by the cerebellum in exploratory motivation and stress-related behaviors.
