TL;DR: The data indicate that the basal activity of the endogenous brain OT system is sufficient to promote natural occurring social preference in rodents while synthetic OT shows potential to reverse stress-induced social avoidance and might thus be of use for treating social phobia and social dysfunction in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal models of mood disorders: Recent developments.
John F. Cryan,David A. Slattery +1 more
TL;DR: Endophenotype-based modelling of depression and bipolar illness is opening up more tractable avenues for understanding the neurobiological and genetic bases of these disorders and promises to yield better translational animal models and hence more fruitful therapeutic targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
