The Influence of Environmental Enrichment on Cardiovascular and Behavioral Responses to Social Stress
OBJECTIVE: Stress is linked to negative cardiovascular consequences and increases in depressive behaviors. Environmental enrichment (EE) involves exposure to novel items that provide physical and cognitive stimulation. EE has behavioral, cognitive, and neurobiological effects that may improve stress responses in humans and animal models. This study investigated the potential protective effects of EE on behavior and cardiovascular function in fema…
The Effects of Environmental Enrichment on Depressive and Anxiety-Relevant Behaviors in Socially Isolated Prairie Voles
OBJECTIVES: Social isolation is associated with depression, anxiety, and negative health outcomes. Environmental enrichment, including environmental and cognitive stimulation with inanimate objects and opportunities for physical exercise, may be an effective strategy to include in treatment paradigms for affective disorders as a function of social isolation. In a rodent model-the socially monogamous prairie vole-we investigated the hypothesis tha…
The Integration of Depressive Behaviors and Cardiac Dysfunction During an Operational Measure of Depression
OBJECTIVE: There is a bidirectional association between depression and cardiovascular disease. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying this association may involve an inability to cope with disrupted social bonds. This study investigated in an animal model the integration of depressive behaviors and cardiac dysfunction after a disrupted social bond and during an operational measure of depression, relative to the protective effects of intact soc…
Hour Autonomic Dysfunction and Depressive Behaviors in an Animal Model of Social Isolation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hypothesis that long-term social isolation in an animal model would produce depression-relevant behaviors and disruptions in the 24-hour autonomic and activity parameters, and to further demonstrate the utility and validity of an animal model for the study of social environment, behavior, and autonomic function. Converging evidence from both experimental and epidemiological studies indicates that there is a bidirecti…
