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.

The effects of antidepressant treatment in prenatally stressed rats support the glutamatergic hypothesis of stress-related disorders.

TL;DR: Antidepressant treatment corrected abnormalities in anxiety-/depression-like behavior and social memory performance in PRS rats, offering the pharmacological demonstration that glutamatergic hypofunction in the ventral hippocampus lies at the core of the pathological phenotype caused by early life stress and represents an attractive pharmacological target for novel therapeutic strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Downregulation of hypothalamic insulin receptor expression elicits depressive-like behaviors in rats

TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis for an increased risk for mood disorders in obesity, which may be related to decreased expression of hippocampal and amygdalar brain-derived neurotrophic factor BDNF.

Environmental-Enrichment–Related Variations in Behavioral, Biochemical, and Physiologic Responses of Sprague–Dawley and Long Evans Rats

TL;DR: The data support the claim that environmental enrichment may render animals more resilient to challenges and indicate that stock- and group-associated differences in several indices occur in association with enrichment.

Sex Differences in the Regulation of Serotonergic Transmission and Behavior in 5-HT Receptor Knockout Mice

TL;DR: Female 5- HT1B receptor knockout mice demonstrate a sex-linked disinhibition of 5-HT release that sustained higher baseline levels of hippocampal5-HT and behavioral vulnerability to 5-ht depletion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep learning-based behavioral analysis reaches human accuracy and is capable of outperforming commercial solutions.

TL;DR: This work provides a set of videos—carefully annotated by several human raters— of three widely used behavioral tests, and develops supervised machine learning classifiers that integrate the skeletal representation with the manual annotations, and shows that the resulting machine learning approach eliminates variation both within and between human annotators.

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

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.
