Heat map indicate some specific preference in rats behavior. SH sham surgery, VG subdiaphragmatic vagotomy, NaCl single intraperitoneal vehicle injection, LPS single intraperitoneal LPS injection. Statistical analysis showed that control rats (sham operated and vehicle injected) have no significant preference between endings of right or left closed arm, however animals after LPS injection or after vagotomy spend more time in ending of the left closed arm. Interestingly, vagotomized animals during inflammation more explore, and prefer to spend more time in the opposite ending of right closed arm. Details in text
