This study aimed to investigate whether exposure to a video depicting social behavior induces behavioral and neurological changes in socially isolated mice. On Postnatal Day (PND) 21, male mice were separated from their dams and randomly assigned to three groups: socially grouped mice; socially isolated mice (ISO), where mice were housed without any social stimulation; and social video-exposed mice (SVE), where mice were exposed to a social video played on a tablet from PND21 to PND56 under socially isolated conditions. On PND56, all animals underwent behavioral tests. Compared to the socially grouped mice and ISO group, the SVE group showed an attenuated response to amphetamine treatment. In the social cognition test, the ISO group exhibited decreased affiliative behavior and increased offensive and defensive behavior. However, the SVE group showed a partial improvement in social cognition, including increased affiliative behaviors and decreased defensive behaviors, although no changes in offensive behaviors were observed. Furthermore, the SVE group exhibited elevated levels of tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine transporter in key social cognition regions-namely the prefrontal cortex, retrosplenial cortex, and hippocampus. This neurochemical shift implies that socially isolated mice can acquire social behaviors through exposure to video-based social interactions. These effects may be related to the compensatory response of the dopamine system, which is implicated in various psychiatric disorders.

Rats gained paced mating experience under EB/P (10 μg EB 48 hr + 1 mg P 4-6 hr before mating) and then were primed with EB-Alone (2 μg EB for 6 days). Rats primed with EB-Alone were fully receptive but returned to the male more slowly, spent less time with the male, had longer interintromission intervals, showed fewer proceptive behaviors and more rejection behaviors, and had significantly longer test durations compared to when rats were primed with EB/P. Experiment 2 tested whether sexual experience-induced changes to paced mating behavior occur under both EB/P and EB-Alone hormone priming regimens. Rats received EB/P or EB-Alone prior to four paced mating tests. With sexual experience under either hormone regimen, rats showed shorter contact-return latencies to intromission, shorter interintromission intervals, and more proceptive behaviors. However, relative to EB/P-primed rats, EB-Alone-primed rats exited the male compartment more frequently after mounts and intromissions, spent less time with the male, had longer interintromission intervals, displayed fewer proceptive behaviors and more rejection behaviors, and had longer test durations, indicating lower sexual motivation. Collectively, these data illustrate that experience-enhanced paced mating behavior occurs with either EB/P or EB-Alone priming, but progesterone further facilitates mating behavior.

The purpose of this study was to determine if stress impacts risk assessment and if this is tied to the effects of stress on exploration. The present study used elevated plus maze (EPM) to test the effects of repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) on risk assessment behaviors in adult male rats. We then tested the effects of diazepam, an anxiolytic that reduces the impact of stress on EPM exploration, to further clarify the relationship between risk assessment and risky behavior in the EPM. We found that RSDS decreased time in the open arm, similar to prior studies. We also found that RSDS increased the likelihood of the primary risk assessment behavior, stretch and attend posture (SAP), increased SAP prior to entering an open arm, and decreased the likelihood that a rat would enter an open arm after SAP. Diazepam ameliorated the effects of RSDS on both SAP and exploratory behavior, further linking risk assessment and subsequent exploratory behaviors. These results suggest that increased risk assessment and reduced risky choices after risk assessment are tied to effects of stress on exploration and provide novel insight into how stress may increase avoidance by effects on risk assessment.

The disruption of reconsolidation by amnestic agents can lead to memory loss. Yet, this hypothesis leaves unanswered questions regarding the mechanisms driving amnesia induction and reversal of molecular and structural changes underlying memory retention. Our previous work proposed that amnesia induction is an active process reliant on both translation and transcription. To test this hypothesis, we explored the role of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors, as well as protein and RNA synthesis in amnesia induction mechanisms in grape snails trained with conditional food aversion, during the initial hours following memory reconsolidation disruption. Our results reveal that protein synthesis inhibitor administration before the conditioned reminder stimulus caused amnesia 3 hr after the reminder, whereas NMDA glutamate receptor antagonists resulted in amnesia less than 20 min following the first conditioned reminder stimulus. Concurrent administration of an NMDA receptor antagonist and a protein synthesis inhibitor before the reminder resulted in a rapid (less than 20 min) and complete prevention of amnesia, underscoring the pivotal role of protein synthesis in NMDA-dependent amnesia induction. Conversely, RNA synthesis inhibitors did not affect memory reconsolidation but inhibited amnesia triggered by an NMDA receptor antagonist. Moreover, our study demonstrates a significant difference in the dependency of memory reconsolidation and amnesia induction \"time windows\" on protein synthesis. These findings lend support to our hypothesis that memory reconsolidation and amnesia represent distinct processes, each characterized by unique developmental dynamics and molecular underpinnings.

Most animal models focus on severe hearing loss, leaving the effects of hidden or slight hearing loss largely unexplored. To uncover the neural mechanisms connecting slight/hidden hearing loss to cognitive and social challenges, we induced hearing loss in young (4-week-old) Wistar rats through noise exposure. We then examined cognitive function (object recognition test) and social behavior (juvenile play behavior and social interaction). Changes in brain anatomy were assessed using cortical thickness and hippocampal size measurements, while (immuno)histochemical staining investigated neuronal circuitry maturation (myelin basic protein, parvalbumin, and perineuronal nets) and neurogenesis (doublecortin). Noise-exposed rats displayed slight high-frequency hearing loss (around 20 dB) and hidden hearing loss at other tested frequencies. This slight/hidden hearing loss was associated with impaired object recognition but did not alter social behavior. Slight/hidden hearing loss was associated with reduced myelin basic protein expression in the corpus callosum but no other alterations in cortical thickness, hippocampal size, or other markers of maturation and neurogenesis were found. These findings show that even slight/hidden hearing loss can lead to subtle brain alterations tied to cognitive deficits. This study emphasizes the need for further research to fully understand the brain changes associated with slight/hidden hearing loss and to pinpoint the mechanisms connecting these changes to behavioral deficits. This information is crucial to develop interventions to prevent the cognitive and social consequences of hearing loss.

This discrimination was reduced but preserved following muscimol infusions in Experiment 1. Similarly, in Experiments 2 and 3, infusions of SKF-81297 and SCH-23390 were both without effect on the acquisition of the discrimination.

Symptoms associated with higher levels of somatic anxiety that reflect autonomic arousal and perceptions of threat include elevated heartbeat perception, difficulty breathing, and palpitation. Somatic anxiety is generally associated with increased stimulus-driven attention; however, it is currently unknown how somatic anxiety modulates neural synchrony, measured by intersubject correlations (ISC), in response to complex audiovisual stimuli. The present study seeks to identify how differing levels of somatic anxiety are associated with neural synchrony during psychological processing of audiovisual stimuli, as measured by ISC and intersubject representational similarity analyses. We hypothesize that individuals with higher levels of somatic anxiety will show heightened ISC in response to an audiovisual stimulus in regions associated with stimulus-driven attention, including the superior parietal lobule, supplementary motor area, and precentral gyrus. Results from this study identified that higher levels of somatic anxiety are associated with widespread heightened ISC across the brain, including in regions associated with perceptual processing and stimulus-driven attention. Taken together, this research suggests that higher levels of somatic anxiety are associated with similar processing in brain regions involved in stimulus-driven attention and top-down processing, whereas lower levels of somatic anxiety are associated with similar processing in brain regions associated with higher level visual processing. These results collectively emphasize that somatic anxiety levels should be measured and controlled for during naturalistic functional magnetic resonance imaging paradigms, as this trait may have an influence on synchronous neurological activity.

Norepinephrine dysfunction is involved early in PD; thus, drug therapies targeting norepinephrine may be useful as a treatment of prodromal signs. This study used a validated, translational rodent model of prodromal PD, the male <i>Pink1</i>-/- rat, which exhibits ultrasonic vocalization (USV) deficits as early as 2 months of age. The purpose of this preclinical study was to investigate a dose-dependent (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10 mg/kg) response of methylphenidate on USV parameters with the hypothesis that methylphenidate would increase vocalization output. Because methylphenidate is a psychostimulant with known adverse side effects, we also hypothesized that potential side effects including anxietylike behavior and spontaneous activity would be increased in a dose-dependent manner. To accomplish this, wild-type (WT) and <i>Pink1</i>-/- rats were administered a dose of a vehicle (saline) and a methylphenidate dose in a randomized within-subjects design and then assessed for USVs, anxiety behavior (open field), and limb motor (cylinder) activity. The results suggest that methylphenidate does not alter USV emissions in <i>Pink1</i>-/- rats; however, methylphenidate increased the total number of vocalizations and duration of frequency-modulated calls in WT rats. Methylphenidate dose dependently influenced spontaneous movements in both WT and <i>Pink1</i>-/- rats, as expected, while methylphenidate increased anxiety in <i>Pink1</i>-/- rats and not WT rats.
