A new 2-hit model combining serine racemase deletion and maternal separation displays behavioral and cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a multifactorial psychotic disorder characterized by positive and negative symptoms as well as cognitive impairments. To advance the current treatments, it is important to improve animal models by considering the multifactorial etiology, thus by combining different risk factors. The objective of our study was to explore in a new mouse model, the impact of genetic deletion of serine racemase (genetic vulnerability) combined with an early stress factor induced by maternal separation (early environmental exposure) in the context of SCZ development. The face validity of the model was assessed through a wide range of behavioral experiments. The 2-hit mice displayed an increased locomotor activity mimicking positive symptoms, working memory impairment, cognitive deficits and recognition memory alterations, which could reflect neophobia. This new multifactorial model therefore presents an interesting phenotype for modelling animal model with partial behavioral and cognitive deficits associated with SCZ.
期刊介绍:
Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
