Abstract:
:The congenitally helpless rat strain, which was selectively bred for increased susceptibility to learned helplessness, may model the predisposition to affective disorders, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Other than the selected trait, the behavior of this strain is not well characterized. In this study, we assessed congenitally helpless rats on several behavioral tests. First, we assessed reward sensitivity by measuring their consumption of a 5% sucrose solution. Next, we assessed exploratory behavior and fearfulness in both a novel and familiar open field, and in a light-dark test. Finally, we assessed fear conditioning by exposing the animals to 4 tone-shock pairs on 1 day (acquisition) and then presenting 60 tones over the next 2 days (extinction). Compared to normal Sprague-Dawley controls, congenitally helpless rats showed less consumption of the sucrose solution and more exploratory behavior in the novel, but not the familiar, open fields. They also showed less fearfulness in the light-dark test, but more conditioned freezing to the tone predicting shock. Moreover, this freezing was resistant to extinction; congenitally helpless rats not only failed to show a fear decrement during extinction, but actually showed increased fear, a phenomenon termed "paradoxical enhancement." Thus, congenitally helpless rats appear to have a behavioral phenotype characterized by reduced sensitivity to reward, increased drive to explore novel environments, and increased propensity to form and maintain fear-associated memories. This behavioral phenotype is discussed as resembling the personality of humans vulnerable to post-traumatic stress disorder.
