| Kuvaus: | The study of individual differences in the forced swimming test (FST) in rats allows the identification of either susceptibility or resilience factors in the development of depression-related behaviors. In order to study these differences several rat groups were subjected to the FST. Afterward, animals with low and high immobility were compared, which allowed us to identify a number of features that could function as risk or protection factors. Thus, neurobiological factors such as the expression levels of the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 (CRFR1) in the nucleus accumbens, a differential accumbal dopamine turnover and the differential expression kinetics of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the prefrontal cortex, could play an important role in the modulation of depressive behaviors. The current review summarizes our key results in such research line. |
