The application belongs to the technical field of biological medicine, and specifically discloses a kind of Exosc9 The application discloses application of a gene mutation animal in construction of an anxiety model and in screening of an anti-anxiety drug. Exosc9 The gene mutation animal is a known model, but the application finds that the animal shows behavior phenotypes related to anxiety through systematic behavior experiments, including a decrease in central zone activity in an open field experiment, a decrease in open arm staying time in a high cross maze experiment, and a decrease in exploration behavior. Through behavior observation and quantitative analysis of the animal, the application can be used to study behavior characteristics of anxiety, compare phenotype differences of animals of different genotypes, genders and ages, and analyze influences of genetic and environmental factors on anxiety behavior. The application also constructs a method for screening of an anti-anxiety candidate drug and evaluation of drug efficacy based on the model, which can greatly shorten an early screening period of drug research and development, and has a wide application prospect in the field of neuropsychiatric disease research and drug research and development.
