Jumping to conclusions (JTC) bias is a hallmark cognitive in psychosis that involves hasty decision-making with limited evidence. Previous research has shown links between JTC and neurocognitive (NC), social (SC), metacognitive (MC), clinical (CV) variables, but sex-based differences these relationships remain understudied. This multicenter cross-sectional study included 121 first-episode (FEP) patients from nine Spanish mental health centers. Participants underwent comprehensive assessments...
Early life stress and exposure to sweeteners lead physiological behavioral alterations in adulthood. Nevertheless, many genetic environmental factors as well the neurobiological mechanisms that contribute development of these disorders are not fully understood. Similarly, evidence about long-term metabolic effects early is limited inconsistent. This study used an animal model maternal separation during breastfeeding (MS) analyze on consumption sweeteners, weight gain, blood glucose...
Despite step-down inhibitory avoidance procedures that have been widely implemented in rats and mice to study learning emotion phenomena, performance of other species these tasks has received less attention. The case the Mongolian gerbil is relevance considering discrepancies parameters protocols implemented, especially wide range foot-shock intensities (i.e., 0.4–4.0 mA), lack information on long-term performance, extinction effects, behavioral patterning during tasks. Experiment 1 aimed...
Chronic exposure to social defeat stress (SDS) has been used investigate the neurobiology of depressive- and anxiety-like responses mnemonic processes. We hypothesized that these affective, emotional, cognitive consequences induced by SDS are regulated via glutamatergic neurons located in bed nucleus stria terminalis (BNST), amygdaloid complex, hippocampus mice.Here, we investigated influence chronic on (i) avoidance behavior assessed interaction test, (ii) (e.g., elevated plus-maze, open...
Few behavioral tests allow measuring several characteristics and most require training, complex analyses, and/or are time-consuming. We present an apparatus based on rat exploratory behavior. Composed of three different environments, it allows the assessment more than one characteristic in a short 3-min session. Factorial analyses have defined dimensions, which we named Exploration, Impulsivity, Self-protection. Behaviors composing Exploration factor were increased by chlordiazepoxide...
Medidas relacionadas a impulsividad se han obtenido mediante tareas de condicionamiento operante. Aunque ha sugerido que índices pueden ser también obtenidos usando el laberinto en cruz elevado (LCE), una prueba animal relacionada con ansiedad, ningún estudio examinado la relación entre las variables ansiedad LCE e durante En este establecieron correlaciones medidas del y desempeño un programa reforzamiento intervalo fijo 60-s (IF 60-s). Diecisiete ratas hembras fueron expuestas antes...
La productividad científica colombiana es limitada considerando indicadores como el número de artículos publicados en revistas alto impacto y índice h. ausencia una línea base metodologías comparación dificulta trazar las expectativas publicación provenientes instancias nacionales. El objetivo del presente estudio evaluar manera comparativa aspectos relacionados con la calidad académica los investigadores neurociencia comportamental utilizando modelos animales Colombia. Se encontró que...
Introduction: Adverse or favourable rearing conditions early in life affect emotional response during adolescence. To study the effect of on response, animal models such as maternal separation (MS) and social enrichment (SE) by community nesting have been useful. However, comparison MS SE anxiety-related behaviours adolescent rats is unknown. Objective: This aimed to assess effects exposed elevated plus-maze test (EPM). Method: Pregnant Wistar were randomly distributed into three groups...
Despite the wide implementation of elevated plus-maze (EPM) test to assess anxiety-related behaviors in rodents, interpretation these measures gerbils has received limited attention. Here, male were treated with vehicle or diazepam, followed by a 20-min EPM session. data subjected minute-by-minute, 5-min bins and factor analyses. During first 5-min, avoided closed-arms favor open-arms diazepam increased entries; furthermore, single (escape response) explained all analyzed measures. Only...
The positive reinforcing properties of addictive drugs have a primary role in the development drug dependence.In field opiates, great attention has been given to this phenomenon, as well negative eliciting craving and inducing relapse during withdrawal.This study was designed evaluate whether elevated plus-maze (EPM) experienced rats withdrawn from low doses subcutaneous (s.c.) morphine (10 mg/kg), which high anxiety level is most prominent withdrawal symptom, acquire place preference when...

Emotional memory has been primarily studied with fear-conditioning paradigms. Fear conditioning is a form of learning through which individuals learn the relationships between aversive events and otherwise neutral stimuli. The most-widely utilized procedures for studying emotional memories entail fear in rats. In these tasks, unconditioned stimulus (US) footshock presented once or several times across single sessions, conditioned response (CR) freezing. version procedures, called cued...
