Abstract
Grooming is a complex innate animal behavior that can serve
as a marker of physiological state of rodents under stress. Here,
we analyze the impact of various experimental factors, including
genetic, pharmacological and physiological, on self-grooming behavior
of laboratory mice and rats. Analyses of grooming behavior assess
not only the number and duration of its bouts but also its microstructure,
i.e. frequency, sequence, localization, and consistency. Rodent
grooming and its microstructure can serve as a sensitive marker
for changes in the brain, its response to stress, and predisposition
to pathological conditions simulating such human mental disorders
as obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism and depression. Studying
rodent self-grooming microstructure can provide valuable information
about the mechanisms of brain pathogenesis, having multiple translational
implications for neuroscience research.
