COMPARTILHAR
Visão Geral
Stress negatively affects our quality of life. In particular, some individuals experience social stress when placed in a social environment that they are unfamiliar with or have difficulty adjusting to. Since it is hard to examine mechanisms of social stress in humans, modeling this condition in animals may help scientist in developing new therapies for treating this commonly encountered problem.
This science education video begins by discussing the known anatomy and physiology behind stress response. Then, we explain a well-established paradigm for modeling social stress in rodents, the Resident-Intruder task. In the applications section, we review some example studies in which response to stress is measured.
Procedimento
Studying models of social stress allows scientists to investigate the underlying mechanisms of this commonly encountered problem. A person experiences social stress when facing changes in social environment that she or he cannot cope with. Social stress can contribute to disorders such as depression and anxiety. Understanding the biological events that occur during a behavioral response to stress may help scientists develop new treatments that reduce the physiological effects of stress. This video will first disc…
