Measuring normal and pathological anxiety-like behaviour in mice: a review.
Measuring anxiety-like behaviour in mice has been mostly undertaken using a few classical animal models of anxiety such as the elevated plus-maze, the light/dark choice or the open-field tests. All these procedures are based upon the exposure of subjects to unfamiliar aversive places. Anxiety can also be elicited by a range of threats such as predator exposure. Furthermore, the concepts of "sta...
متن کاملModafinil decreases anxiety-like behaviour in zebrafish
Modafinil (2-((diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl)acetamide), a selective dopamine and norepinephrine transporter inhibitor, is most commonly prescribed for narcolepsy but has gained recent interest for treating a variety of disorders. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are becoming a model of choice for pharmacological and behavioural research. To investigate the behavioural effects of modafinil on anxiety, we admi...
متن کاملHuntington's disease knock-in male mice show specific anxiety-like behaviour and altered neuronal maturation.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating genetic neurodegenerative disorder. Major depressive disorder and more generally mood disorders are a major component of the symptoms during the pre-motor symptomatic stages of the disease. We report here that knock-in Hdh(Q111) mice, an animal model of HD, that carry an expanded polyglutamine stretch in the mouse HD protein show an anxio-depressive-li...
متن کاملEffects of Hesperidin During Pregnancy on Antidepressant-like behaviour in Postpartum Mice
BACKGROUND:Post-partum depression is the most prevalent form of mental illness and herbal therapies are potential alternatives and adjuncts for its treatment. Hesperidin is the major flavonoid isolated from cit- rus fruits which has neuroprotective, antioxidant and antidepressant activity. OBJECTIVES: We studied the effect of exposure to Hesperidin during pregnancy on postpartum antide- pressan...
متن کاملOptogenetic activation of serotonergic neurons enhances anxiety-like behaviour in mice.
Whether increased serotonin (5-HT) release in the forebrain attenuates or enhances anxiety has been controversial for over 25 yr. Although there is considerable indirect evidence, there is no direct evidence that indicates a relationship between acute 5-HT release and anxiety. In particular, there is no known method that can reversibly, selectively, and temporally control serotonergic activity....
