Elevated plus maze with EEG or ECoG

From 2021 to 2025, 34 animal research papers mentioned EEG or ECoG and the elevated plus maze in their title or abstract.

That is 1.7 times the 20 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention EEG or ECoG and any of the 90 tests we count grew about as fast, to 1.7 times as many.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions EEG or ECoG and the elevated plus maze.

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 a brain technique and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on the elevated plus maze counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on EEG or ECoG ranks the tests mentioned with it.
