Abstract

Barbering is a behavior which involves the plucking or nibbling of fur, hair, or whiskers (vibrissae), leading to focal hair loss, and is often seen in laboratory mice and rats. The role of this behavior, including its relationship with stress, aggression, grooming, and aberrant stereotypic behavior, is actively discussed. Insights into the nature of barbering and its impact on laboratory rodents should be considered when planning experimental studies. Here, we discuss recent data on the neurobiology and genetics of barbering, as well as its role in the behavior and central nervous system of laboratory rodents.

实验室啮齿动物的理发：问题与前景

摘要剪毛是一种涉及拔除或啃咬毛发、毛发或胡须（vibrissae）的行为，会导致局灶性脱毛，经常出现在实验室小鼠和大鼠身上。我们积极讨论了这种行为的作用，包括它与压力、攻击、梳理和异常刻板行为的关系。在计划实验研究时，应考虑到理毛的本质及其对实验鼠的影响。在此，我们将讨论理毛神经生物学和遗传学的最新数据，以及理毛在实验啮齿动物行为和中枢神经系统中的作用。
