Animal models of bipolar disorder and mood stabilizer efficacy: A critical need for improvement

Abstract: The limited number of suitable animal models of bipolar disorder available for in-depth behavioral, biochemical, histological, and pharmacological analysis is a rate limiting step in the process of understanding the relevant neurobiology of the disorder, as well as the development of novel medications. In the search for new models, both new and old approaches hold promise for future discoveries. Clinical studies regarding the underlying genetics and pathophysiology of bipolar disorder are providing important c… Show more

“…In fact, there is currently no single animal model that satisfactory mimics the most common behavioural changes found in psychiatric disorders [15][16][17]. There are obviously animal models that replicate particular behavioural changes (but only a limited set) and some animal behavioural tests providing a reasonable predictability of the efficiency of some (but not all) of the drugs currently used to alleviate the symptoms of psychiatric disorders [18,19].…”

“…Behavioural tests could partly reflect the psychological impact in rodents. The tail suspension test has been used to measure the degree of depression and negative mood [19,32]. Prolonged immobility time in the rat model has been associated with negative mood.…”

“…Conclui-se que apesar da alta prevalência e gravidade do TB, ainda sabe-se pouco acerca de sua neurobiologia e que muitos esforços ainda são necessários para o desenvolvimento de tratamentos seguros e eficazes (Gould & Einat, 2007). Este avanço depende, ainda que em parte, da criação e estabelecimento de condições experimentais que reproduzam em animais de laboratório aspectos deste fenômeno psicopatológico (Cryan & Slattery, 2007;Gould & Manji, 2004).…”

“…O número reduzido de modelos animais para o TB disponíveis é um fator limitante para o processo de compreensão da neurobiologia desta psicopatologia (Gould & Einat, 2007). A grande dificuldade no desenvolvimento de modelos animais para o TB reside em reproduzir a ciclagem entre os episódios depressivos e maníacos.…”
