2. What?: Anxiety is an unpleasant symptom caused
by different means, it is usually generalized by
oneself or others
Why?: Most university students expose
themselves to anxiety in a variety of ways
How?: I’m going to expose lab rats specifically
Lister black hooded rat, a type of Rattus
norvegicus, to a variety of anxiety tests
3. Anxiety could lead to eating disorders
If anxiety is present for long periods
of time depression will arise
4. Deteriorate the rodent to the point of having
depression
Proof the best treatment for the diseases
State the rate at which depression arises
Show specifically which of the disorders maybe
the long or short term
Expose the rodents to long periods of anxiety until
it shows prolonged symptoms
Test the different eating disorders that it can
cause; overweight rats or underweight rats
5. 45 Lab rats
Anxiety tests:
◦ Beaker with water
◦ Platform
◦ Cells in the cage
◦ Tight box
The drugs:
◦ Klonopin (anxiety pill)
◦ Zoloft (depression pill)

Divided into 4 weeks
9. The aim is to show what symptoms may the
rodent present throughout the anxiety tests
See the different effects of the exposure to anxiety
Also to measure how much pressure does the
brain can handle until it presents depression
To see which is the best of the two treatments that
we will expose the rodents
10. It will provide specific information about how
anxiety could deteriorate physically and mentally
State what could be the best treatment for those
who have these symptoms
Share this information to the most exposed groups
of people in our communities
