Aging and time-of-day effects on anxiety in female Octodon degus.

Abstract:

:Animal models of anxiety have usually employed nocturnal species (e.g. rats and mice), and the tests used have been almost exclusively performed during the diurnal phase (lights on). Here, for the first time, we tested anxiety in a diurnal rodent, Octodon degus, according to its age (23 versus 40 months of age) and the time of the day. We employed three anxiety tests: object recognition, open field and light-dark tests, which were applied in the morning, at mid-day and in the late afternoon, respectively. Adult animals spent more time exploring a new object than aged animals. Nevertheless, there were no differences in the frequency of object exploration or in the latency to the first object approach between the groups. In the open field test, adult animals spent more time exploring (ambulation and rearing) than aged ones. Although both groups exhibited similar frequencies in transition from the dark to the light box in the light-dark test, adult animals spent significantly more time in the light, and expressed less anxiety when making the decision to cross over from the dark into the light area. In conclusion, there were no differences in anxiety between adult and aged animals in the morning session, although adult animals were more attentive when exploring a new object. However, in the mid-day and afternoon testing sessions, aged animals were more anxious than adults.
