Tail pinch-induced eating: is it the tail or the pinch?

Abstract:

:Mildly pinching the tail of the rat results in a set of consummatory behaviors including eating, chewing and licking. This phenomenon has been characterized as one which is not causally dependent on induction of pain. In the present study we report that pinching the scruff of the neck, the ears, or the rear paw of rats also results in consummatory behaviors similar to those observed during tail pinch. We suggest that stress-induced eating caused by pressure applied to various regions of the rat involves the perception of noxious stimuli (nociception).

  • An early experience of mild adversity involving temporary denial of maternal contact affects the serotonergic system of adult male rats and leads to a depressive-like phenotype and inability to adapt to a chronic social stress.

    abstract::Adverse early life experiences can affect adaptability to chronic stressors and lead to depressive-like behaviors in animal models. We employed an early experience model in which rat pups during postnatal days 10-13 are exposed to a T-maze in which they learn the location of their mother motivated by the rewarding sti...
