Burrowing and nest building behavior as indicators of well-being in mice.

TL;DR: In combination with specific disease markers, changes in nest building and burrowing performance may help provide a global picture of a mouse's state, and thus aid monitoring to ensure well-being in animal experimentation.

A critical inquiry into marble-burying as a preclinical screening paradigm of relevance for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder: Mapping the way forward

TL;DR: The present review concludes by underlining that the collective translational value of the MBT will be strengthened by contextually valid experimental designs and objective reporting of data.

Bisphenol S (BPS) Alters Maternal Behavior and Brain in Mice Exposed During Pregnancy/Lactation and Their Daughters.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pregnancy and lactation are vulnerable periods for the mother and that developmental BPS exposure alters maternal behavior later in adulthood, and both findings have potential public health implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current animal models of obsessive compulsive disorder: an update.

TL;DR: An overview of the currently active animal models of obsessive compulsive disorder, their strengths and limitations are provided, so that the reader can use the review as a guide for establishing newAnimal models of OCD, evaluating existing animal models and choosing among them according to one's needs.

Essential role for orbitofrontal serotonin 1B receptors in obsessive-compulsive disorder-like behavior and serotonin reuptake inhibitor response in mice.

TL;DR: It is indicated that orbitof prefrontal 5-HT1BRs are necessary and sufficient to induce OCD-like behavior in mice and that SRI pharmacotherapy reduces OCD- like behavior by desensitizing orbitofrontal 5- HT1 BRs.

Validation of open:closed arm entries in an elevated plus-maze as a measure of anxiety in the rat.

TL;DR: A novel test for the selective identification of anxiolytic and anxiogenic drug effects in the rat is described, using an elevated + -maze consisting of two open arms and two enclosed arms, which showed that behaviour on the maze was not clearly correlated either with exploratory head-dipping or spontaneous locomotor activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review and meta-analysis of the genetic epidemiology of anxiety disorders.

TL;DR: Meta-analyses of data from family and twin studies of panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder revealed significant familial aggregation, underscoring the importance of identifying putative environmental risk factors that predispose individuals to anxiety.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

TL;DR: A large number of patients with OCD are diagnosed with at least some form of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is still probably the least understood of all the major psychiatric syndromes.
