To overcome these limitations, this study aimed to explore the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as an innovative anxiety-inducing tool.

VR is used to induce anxiety through customized scenarios, while a range of data, including subjective self-reports, objective performance measures, eye movement data, and EEG signals, are collected. The findings indicate that VR is efficacious in induced anxiety, which manifests through the arousal of anxious emotions, alterations in cognitive processes, and distinct neurophysiological patterns, particularly increased theta and alpha activity in the frontal and parietal regions.

At higher dosage, both 5-HTP (≥ 250 mg/kg) and fenfluramine (5 mg/kg), but not escitalopram (30 mg/kg), impaired acquisition of fear conditioning as well as freezing displayed during presentation of electric foot shocks. In contrast, neither 5-HTP nor fenfluramine impacted expression of conditioned fear when administered immediately after the exposure to shocks.

Additionally, PET imaging with the dopamine D1 receptor radioligand ([<sup>11</sup>C]SCH23390) was performed in the same monkeys under awake conditions to examine dopamine transmission, given scopolamine’s known interaction with dopaminergic systems. Behavioral results indicated that scopolamine administration decreased average RTs while preserving the foreperiod effect. PET imaging revealed a significant increase in dopamine D1 receptor binding within the putamen following scopolamine administration. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report a reduction in RTs post-scopolamine administration in monkeys.

Recent studies suggest that the neuropeptide oxytocin (OXT) may reduce addiction-related behaviors and possess anxiolytic properties. The present study investigates the effect of peripheral administration of OXT on attenuating stress-induced motivation to seek oral OXY, as measured by progressive ratio (PR) responding in both male and female rats. Animals were first trained in an operant conditioning paradigm to orally self-administer a sucrose solution by pressing an active lever for access to the solution. As responding stabilized, subjects were switched to an OXY-sucrose solution, with sucrose concentration reduced overtime, until subjects were self-administering oral OXY alone. To test the effect of stress on OXY responding the pharmacological stressor, yohimbine (YOH), was administered prior to a progressive ratio test in which animals were required to produce increasingly higher responses to receive a single exposure to OXY. Through a within subjects design, when OXT was concurrently administered, this YOH-induced enhancement of OXY reward strength was attenuated in both male and female rats. These results suggest that OXT may serve as a potential therapeutic remedy to mitigate the deleterious effects of stress on OXY addiction in both sexes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8823,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Brain Research","volume":"488 ","pages":"Article 115598"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143865186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the current study examined a potential role of brain microglia in allodynia and cognitive impairment in male mice with neuropathic pain due to PSNL. Immunohistochemistry of the microglial markers ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), transmembrane protein 119 (TMEM119), and purinergic receptor P2Y12 (P2RY12) was performed to examine microglial status. Two weeks after PSNL, significant microglial activation was observed in the hippocampus and amygdala, but not in the perirhinal cortex. Inhibition of brain-region-specific microglia with a local microinjection of clodronate liposomes was examined to elucidate the involvement of these microglia in PSNL-induced allodynia and cognitive impairment. Local clodronate liposome microinjection to the hippocampus, but not the amygdala, ameliorated allodynia and cognitive impairment. Other changes in the hippocampus of PSNL mice, e.g., decreased hippocampal dendrite length and intersections number, were prevented by microinjection of clodronate liposomes.
