However, preclinical research into stress and MDD is heavily biased toward using male animals only. Aberrant activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been linked to the development of MDD and several animal models of MDD have been established based on HPA axis dysregulation. In the present study, we compared stress biomarkers and behavior of male and female mice after acute and chronic restraint stress to investigate potential effects of sex differences in the stress response. Further, the validity of the interrupted repeated restraint stress (IRRS) model as an animal model for the HPA axis disturbances seen in MDD was assessed. After acute stress, female mice showed increased corticosterone secretion and changes in molecular markers suggesting increased HPA axis feedback sensitivity. Acute stress-induced signs of anxiety-like behavior were observed in male mice only suggesting that female mice may be more resilient to the anxiogenic effects of acute stress. Males and females responded similarly to IRRS with no sustained perturbations in HPA axis biomarkers. The IRRS model did not adequately translate to the changes reported in MDD with HPA axis overactivity and more severe perturbation models are likely needed. However, in alignment with previous studies, these data support that there are important sex differences in the HPA axis and that these may contribute to the etiology of stress-related psychiatric disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":51173,"journal":{"name":"Stress-The International Journal on the Biology of Stress","volume":"28 1","pages":"2447079"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143015785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is necessary to better understand maladaptive behaviors in PTSD to guide new treatments. Single-prolonged stress (SPS) is a rodent model of stress that parallels certain human neurophysiological and neurobehavioral changes occurring in PTSD. SPS is a single-day sequential stressor exposure-restraint stress, group forced swim, predator odor exposure, and isoflurane until loss of consciousness-followed by 7 days of stress incubation. Here, we investigated multiple cohorts of male C57BL/6J mice early after SPS and stress incubation (8-10 days) on behavioral tasks (elevated plus maze (EPM), three-chamber sociability, cost-benefit conflict (CBC), home cage behavior, scent avoidance and defensive burying tasks) that test multiple PTSD-related symptoms. Behavioral assessment included efforts to replicate published findings (i.e., EPM) and introducing newer tasks (i.e., CBC) that have not yet been tested in the SPS mouse model. While most of these tasks and standardized metrics failed to capture behavioral differences in SPS-treated male C57BL/6J mice, we did observe deficits in social novelty preference in the stressed mice. These studies add to a growing literature on inconsistencies in behavioral outcomes produced by the mouse SPS paradigm that could be potentially explained by mouse strain or procedural differences.

Experiments 2-4 demonstrated that prioritization was facilitated most if reappearing items matched VWM content in terms of both location and orientation. Sensory input fully matching VWM is possibly processed more efficiently and/or protects against interference, ultimately leading to stronger prioritization of other memory content. We propose that the link between sensory processing and VWM is bidirectional: internal representations guide the processing of sensory input, which in turn facilitates the prioritization of other VWM content to subserve adaptive behavior.
