Journal ArticleDOI
Requirement of Hippocampal Neurogenesis for the Behavioral Effects of Antidepressants
Luca Santarelli,Michael Saxe,Cornelius Gross,Alexandre Surget,Fortunato Battaglia,Stephanie C. Dulawa,Noelia V. Weisstaub,James T. Lee,Ronald S. Duman,Ottavio Arancio,Catherine Belzung,René Hen +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that disrupting antidepressant-induced neurogenesis blocks behavioral responses to antidepressants, suggesting that the behavioral effects of chronic antidepressants may be mediated by the stimulation of neuroGenesis in the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The open field as a paradigm to measure the effects of drugs on anxiety-like behaviors: a review
Laëtitia Prut,Catherine Belzung +1 more
TL;DR: Compounds that have a different spectrum of therapeutic efficacy in anxiety disorders such as panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder were poorly effective as anxiolytics in the open field test, suggesting that this paradigm may not model features of anxiety disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring normal and pathological anxiety-like behaviour in mice: a review.
Catherine Belzung,Guy Griebel +1 more
TL;DR: When assessing the behaviour of mice, it is necessary to increase the range of behavioural paradigms used, including animal models of "state" and "trait" anxiety.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased GABA A -receptor clustering results in enhanced anxiety and a bias for threat cues
Florence Crestani,Matthias Lorez,Kristin Baer,Christian Essrich,Dietmar Benke,Jean Paul Laurent,Catherine Belzung,Jean-Marc Fritschy,Bernhard Lüscher,Hanns Möhler +9 more
TL;DR: The γ2+/– mice represent a model of anxiety characterized by harm avoidance behavior and an explicit memory bias for threat cues, resulting in heightened sensitivity to negative associations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug-dependent requirement of hippocampal neurogenesis in a model of depression and of antidepressant reversal.
Alexandre Surget,Michael Saxe,Samuel Leman,Yadira Ibarguen-Vargas,Sylvie Chalon,Guy Griebel,René Hen,Catherine Belzung +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that hippocampal neurogenesis might be used by the monoaminergic ADs to counteract the effects of stress, whereas similar effects could be achieved by directly targeting the HPA axis and related neuropeptides.
