A review of 25 years of the social interaction test

SE File, P Seth - European journal of pharmacology, 2003 - Elsevier
The social interaction test of anxiety was developed 25 years ago to provide an ethologically
based test that was sensitive to both anxiolytic and anxiogenic effects. It is sensitive to a …

Stress-induced prefrontal reorganization and executive dysfunction in rodents

A Holmes, CL Wellman - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) mediates a range of higher order 'executive functions' that
subserve the selection and processing of information in such a way that behavior can be …

[HTML][HTML] Synchronized activity between the ventral hippocampus and the medial prefrontal cortex during anxiety

A Adhikari, MA Topiwala, JA Gordon - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com
The ventral hippocampus, unlike its dorsal counterpart, is required for anxiety-like behavior.
The means by which it acts are unknown. We hypothesized that the hippocampus …

Single units in the medial prefrontal cortex with anxiety-related firing patterns are preferentially influenced by ventral hippocampal activity

A Adhikari, MA Topiwala, JA Gordon - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and ventral hippocampus (vHPC) functionally interact
during innate anxiety tasks. To explore the consequences of this interaction, we examined …

The periaqueductal gray and primal emotional processing critical to influence complex defensive responses, fear learning and reward seeking

SC Motta, AP Carobrez, NS Canteras - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral …, 2017 - Elsevier
The periaqueductal gray (PAG) has been commonly recognized as a downstream site in

Long-range neural synchrony in behavior

AZ Harris, JA Gordon - Annual review of neuroscience, 2015 - annualreviews.org

approach-avoidance conflict, resulting in a sacrifice of potential rewards to avoid potential …

Excitotoxic lesions of the medial prefrontal cortex attenuate fear responses in the elevated-plus maze, social interaction and shock probe burying tests

AA Shah, D Treit - Brain research, 2003 - Elsevier
Previous research investigating the effects of medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) lesions on
fear-and anxiety-related behavior has yielded an inconsistent body of findings. Behavioral …
