TLDR
Dark conditions and low noise levels were used to evaluate the latency to emerge from a small chamber into an open field and the subsequent ambulation and rearing behaviour of isolated and group-housed rats, and the prediction that these conditions would be conducive to the rapid development of hyperactivity in isolates was confirmed.About:

Short-term isolation increases social interactions of male rats: A parametric analysis
R.J.M. Niesink,J.M. van Ree +1 more
TL;DR: The increase in social interactions is apparently not due to a general increase in locomotor or exploratory behavior, since no differences in ambulation between individually- and group-housed animals were observed when they were tested together in the social interaction test, and locomotor activities hardly differed in an open field test procedure.

Interpreting the behaviour of calves in an open-field test: a factor analysis
TL;DR: In this article, 16 female Holstein calves were tested alone in an open-field to determine how their behavioural and heart rate responses were affected by: (1) the novelty of the enclosure (5 and 15 weeks of age), (2) a period of previous exercise (7 and 14 weeks), and (3) the presence of a familiar or unfamiliar person (8 weeks).

The effects of rearing in individual crates on subsequent social behaviour of veal calves
TL;DR: It is concluded that the reduction of social contacts has short-term effects on the social behaviour of calves and that these effects can be reversed by mixing calves with similar social experience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social deprivation enhances the vulnerability of male Wistar rats to stressor- and amphetamine-induced behavioral sensitization.
TL;DR: The results suggest that experiential factors such as privation of contact with peers (social isolation) may make rats more vulnerable to the long-term repercussions of chronic environmental and pharmacological challenges.

Behavioural Inhibition and the Age at Social Isolation in Rats
TL;DR: Findings confirm that the many behavioural effects of social isolation at different ages do not reflect a unitary aetiology and suggest the behaviour of rats isolated at weaning is suggestive of a “disinhibition syndrome”.

TL;DR: The effects of isolation upon object contact and upon emergence apparently do not depend upon a single underlying variable.

Brief periods of socialization and later behavior in the rat
TL;DR: It is concluded that normal development in the rat may depend upon the flexibility of behavior encouraged by the early social situation, and that animals totally deprived of social experience were slower to habituate than animals living in small social groups.

Effects of post-weaning environment on learning in the rat
TL;DR: Object-deprived/isolates were slower than the objects/social group in the transfer phase of the above tasks, though not in original acquisition, and were not inferior to an objects/ social group.

Isolation syndrome in the rat
TL;DR: Rats kept in individual cages (isolation) for 13 weeks showed changes in various physiologic measurements and in response to administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), indicating that hyperadrenocorticism is a consequence of prolonged isolation.
