Attenuation of amphetamine-stereotypy by mesostriatal dopamine depletion enhances plasma corticosterone: Implications for stereotypy as a coping response

Reads0

TLDR
The hypothesis that stereotypy has a coping function which may serve to alter arousal is supported and important differences between the nigrostriatal and mesolimbic dopamine projections in modulating the responsiveness of the neuroendocrine system are suggested.

Coping styles in animals: current status in behavior and stress-physiology.

TL;DR: This paper summarizes the current views on coping styles as a useful concept in understanding individual adaptive capacity and vulnerability to stress-related disease and indicates the existence of a proactive and a reactive coping style in feral populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stereotypies: a critical review.

TL;DR: Stereotypies are repetitive, invariant behaviour patterns with no obvious goal or function as discussed by the authors, and they seem to be restricted to captive animals, mentally ill or handicapped humans, and subjects given stimulant drugs.

The biology of animal stress: basic principles and implications for animal welfare.

TL;DR: Biology of the stress response impact of long-term stress on animals cognitive and developmental aspects of stress alleviating animal stress are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychobiological risk factors for vulnerability to psychostimulants in human adolescents and animal models.

TL;DR: The present animal model of adolescence seems to represent a reliable and useful method for the investigation of vulnerability to a variety of habit-forming agents or emotional experiences whose positive reinforcing properties may rely on common neurobiological substrates.

Dopaminergic and serotonergic function following isolation rearing in rats: study of behavioural responses and postmortem and in vivo neurochemistry.

TL;DR: This series of experiments compared isolation-reared and socially reared rats for their locomotor activity, behavioural stereotypy, and monoamine function both postmortem and in vivo using intracerebral dialysis to discuss the possible relationship between neurochemical findings and the behavioural disturbances following isolation rearing.

Statistical Principles in Experimental Design

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the principles of estimation and inference: means and variance, means and variations, and means and variance of estimators and inferors, and the analysis of factorial experiments having repeated measures on the same element.

Amphetamine and apomorphine responses in the rat following 6-OHDA lesions of the nucleus accumbens septi and corpus striatum.

TL;DR: Recovery of behavioural effects correlated with an increase in the remaining levels of DA in the NAS, and there is evidence that remaining DA levels in theNAS are greater at 90 than at 14 days postoperatively.
