Stress, noradrenaline, and realistic prediction of mouse behaviour using reinforcement learning

Gediminas Luksys, Carmen Sandi, Wulfram Gerstner
2008 Neural Information Processing Systems  
Reinforcement learning (RL) models have been successful in modeling animal (and human) behaviour, but their success has been limited because of uncertainty as to how to set meta-parameters (such as learning  ...  manipulations, can successfully predict mouse behaviour in the "hole-box" -a simple conditioning task.  ...  Modeling the hole-box using reinforcement learning We used a simple temporal difference RL model to formalize the behaviour.  ...

Experimental methods for evaluation of psychotropic agents in rodents: II-Antidepressants

S K Bhattacharya, K S Satyan, M Ramanathan
1999 Indian journal of experimental biology  
Rodent models of clinical depression are extensively used for the evaluation of putative antidepressants.  ...  These methods have been critically validated in terms of efficacy of standard antidepressants in these tests and, in some cases, by the neurochemical basis of depression, namely, the deficient monoaminergic  ...  Unfortunately, none of the existing models perform well against all three sets of validating criteria, including the widely used Porsoll's, learned help-lessness and chronic stress tests.  ...

Evaluating the links between schizophrenia and sleep and circadian rhythm disruption

David Pritchett, Katharina Wulff, Peter L. Oliver, David M. Bannerman, Kay E. Davies, Paul J. Harrison, Stuart N. Peirson, Russell G. Foster
2012 Journal of neural transmission  
We suggest that these associations can be explored at a mechanistic level by using animal models. Specifically, we predict that SCRD should be observed in schizophreniarelevant mouse models.  ...  There is a rapidly accumulating body of evidence which supports this prediction, as summarised in this review.  ...  Open Access This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits any use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author(s)  ...

There is growing evidence that the biological mechanisms of depression significantly overlap with those observed during the aging process, leading to an acceleration of brain and systemic aging in depressed  ...  Finally, the dysregulation of senescence-related biological cascades can provide a molecular link between depression and accelerated brain and systemic aging across the lifespan.  ...  We thus sought a framework that is more realistic, generalizable, and can help unify computational study of learning.  ...
