[Abstract]  We developed sociability tests based on use of a U-shaped two-choice field to read out behavioral states of sociability in rodents. The U-shaped two-choice field is a modified open field that is partially partitioned with a wall projecting to the central point, resulting in two symmetrical rectangular fields, each containing closed and open square zones that together form a ‘U-shaped field’. The U-shaped two-choice field can be used to measure animal’s behavioral responses to two contrasting or similar options, such as (i) a social target versus an inanimate object, (ii) a new stranger versus an earlier stranger, and (iii) a novel animal (a non-mate) versus a cage-mate (a familiar animal). We describe detailed procedures for sociability tests for the above three ... [摘要]  我们开发了基于使用U形双选择字段的社交性测试来读出啮齿动物社交性的行为状态。 U形双选择区域是一个改进的开放区域,该区域用投射到中心点的壁部分分隔,产生两个对称的矩形区域,每个矩形区域包含封闭和开放的正方形区域,它们一起形成“U形场”。 U形双选择字段可用于测量动物对两种对比或类似选项的行为反应,例如(i)社会目标对比无生命对象,(ii)新陌生人, (一个陌生人),和一个新的动物(一个非伴侣)与一个笼中的伴侣(一个熟悉的动物)相比。 我们描述了基于U形双选择字段的上述三种行为测试范式的社交性测试的详细程序。

【背景】社交性是与他人交往的行为倾向。社交能力在包括抑郁症,自闭症和精神分裂症在内的精神疾病中存在缺陷。有缺陷的社交性被认为是代表精神疾病状态的重要行为症状(Hirschfeld et al。2000; American Psychiatric Association。,2013; Green< em> et al。, 2015年;巴拉克和冯,2016年)。动物模型已被用于研究社交性的神经机制,以及精神疾病的神经病理学机制。已经开发了各种社交性测试来测量实验动物的社会行为的特定方面,诸如社交相互作用(Moy等人,2004; Berton等人,, 2006; McFarlane等人,2008; ...
