Objective: To compare prey and snake paradigms performed in complex environments to
the elevated plus-maze (EPM) and T-maze (ETM) tests for the study of panic attack-and …

Defensive behaviour has been extensively studied, and non-invasive methodologies may
be interesting approaches to analyzing the limbic system function as a whole. Using …

Using an innovative approach to study the neural bases of psychiatric disorders, this study
investigated the behavioral, morphological and pharmacological bases of panic attack …

Analyses of the behavioral reactions of rodents to predators have greatly contributed to the
understanding of defense-related human psychopathologies such as anxiety and panic. We …

This article reviews reported results about the effects of drugs that act upon the serotonergic
neurotransmission measured in three elevated mazes that are animal models of anxiety. A …

Natural defense-inducing stimuli are being increasingly exploited as a means to investigate
the neural mechanisms underlying normal and pathological anxiety, as well as for the …

This report describes a new experimental method for measuring fear and anxiety in Cerrado
marmosets (Callithrixpenicillata). In order to test the sensitivity of the behavioral parameters …

Anxiety and stress-related disorders are severe psychiatric conditions that affect
performance in daily tasks and represent a high cost to public health. The initial observation …

In the field of anxiety research, animal models are used as screening tools in the search for
compounds with therapeutic potential and as simulations for research on mechanisms …

The neuropsychopharmacological basis of fear‐or panic‐related behavior has been the
focus of several studies. Some mesencephalic tectum (MT) structures, such as the superior …
