Sumario: In the last year the Laboratory of Experimental Pharmacobiology at the Medicine Faculty of the Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas UNACH has been setting up several non-conditioned tests for the study of anxiety in animal models.In this work a literature review updates the knowledge of useful tests in the assessment of anxiety. These tests are used in the research of plant extracts based on ethnobotanical findings of traditional medicine of Chiapas, which have been developed with modest financial resources of the Medical Faculty of the University and self-financing by the researchers, given the knowledge generation and the possibility of extending the therapeutic expectations with natural resources as the most valuable input. It is also of interest to the research team in this process to link researchers from other universities and health institutions who are studying compounds extracted from plants andserve as a basis for obtaining non-synthetic drugs for treatment of anxiety in humans.
