Open field with social defeat stress
From 2021 to 2025, 49 animal research papers mentioned social defeat stress and the open field in their title or abstract.
That is 3.3 times the 15 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention social defeat stress and any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 1.8 times as many.

Which papers count
A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions social defeat stress and the open field.
A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.
More pairings
Every pairing of an animal model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.
