TLDR
Positive findings with atypical antidepressant drugs such as iprindole and mianserin suggest that the method may be capable of discovering new antidepressants hitherto undetectable with classical pharmacological tests.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor, tadalafil, improves depressive symptoms, ameliorates memory impairment, as well as suppresses apoptosis and enhances cell proliferation in the hippocampus of maternal-separated rat pups.

TL;DR: The present results suggest that tadalafil improves depressive symptoms and alleviates memory impairment by suppressing apoptotic neuronal cell death and enhancing cell proliferation in maternal-separated rat pups.

TL;DR: It is indicated that activation of 5-HT2C receptors in the LHb increases firing activity of LHb glutamate neurons and then decreases monoamine levels in several brain regions, which increase the expression of depressive-like behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Escapability and generalization: effect on 'behavioral despair'.
TL;DR: Results indicated that rats exhibited 'behavioral despair' independent of the escapability of the warm swim and that the phenomenon did not generalize to a shock escape task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different effects of intracerebral and systemic administration of buspirone in the forced swimming test: Involvement of a metabolite
TL;DR: The results suggest that buspirone possesses potential antidepressant properties but its effects may be masked in certain tests by its metabolite, 1PP, through its alpha 2 adrenergic blocking activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex and age specific effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol during the periadolescent period in the rat: The unique susceptibility of the prepubescent animal
TL;DR: It is suggested that males are more sensitive to the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of THC, as measured by the elevated plus maze (EPM) and forced swim test (FST), respectively, than females, and both sexes are more susceptible to changes in emotional behavior when THC exposure occurs just prior to the onset of puberty.

Helplessness: On Depression, Development, and Death
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a learned-helplessness model of depression and developed a set of guidelines for depression and learned helplessness, including depression, anxiety and unpredictability, childhood failure, sudden psychosomatic death controllability.

Depression: a new animal model sensitive to antidepressant treatments
R D Porsolt,M Le Pichon,M Jalfre +2 more
TL;DR: Results presented below indicate that immobility is reduced by different treatments known to be therapeutic in depression including three drugs, iprindole, mianserin and viloxazine which although clinically active show little or no ‘antidepressant’ activity in the usual animal tests.

The making and breaking of affectional bonds. I. Aetiology and psychopathology in the light of attachment theory. An expanded version of the Fiftieth Maudsley Lecture, delivered before the Royal College of Psychiatrists, 19 November 1976.
TL;DR: Though attachment theory incorporates much psychoanalytic thinking, many of its principles derive from ethology, cognitive psychology and control theory, and it conforms to the ordinary criteria of a scientific discipline.

Failure to Escape Traumatic Shock
TL;DR: Dogs which had first learned to panel press in a harness in order to escape shock subsequently showed normal acquisition of escape/ avoidance behavior in a shuttle box, supporting a learned "helplessness" explanation of interference with escape responding.
Journal Article
Molecular geometry of inhibitors of the uptake of catecholamines and serotonin in synaptosomal preparations of rat brain.
TL;DR: The tubular configuration of EXP-561 may be the most appropriate for blocking serotonin uptake and the conformation defined by the combination resulting from superimposition of the CP-24-441 and desipramine structures is apparently optimal for blocking norepinephrine uptake.
