Long-term isolation stress and its effects on drug response in rodents

This review of the literature has illustrated that isolation stress, especially long-term isolation stress in rats and mice, can affect the growth, behavior, physiological condition, and response to a wide variety of drugs. ... Isolation stress in mice produces abnormal...

Experimental Production of Depressive Behavior in Young Monkeys

Experimentation with therapeutic agents and techniques utilizing human patients is seriously hampered by lack of experimental control and sound ethical constraints. No such problems exist for the monkey researcher. (p. 131)

Pairing preadolescents with infants (Macaca mulatta)

Infants [isolates and controls] were paired with pre-adolescents. There was more social behavior directed toward control infants than toward isolate-reared infants.

Urinary epinephrine and norepinephrine responses to chair restraint in the monkey

Animals who were restrained in an unfamiliar environment showed significantly higher urinary catecholamine levels than animals who were familiar with the environment in which they were restrained.

Short- and long-term attachments in adult heterosexual pairs of rhesus monkeys

When the members of four heterosexual pairs were separated, all four males bit themselves while attempting to remove the separating barrier or while threatening observers. [quoted in Erwin et al., 1973]

Abnormal behavior in non-isolate-reared rhesus monkeys

Self-aggression [in single-housed subjects] occurred primarily in semi-stressful contexts which apparently did not allow appropriate outward-directed expression of emotion.

Relationship of thyroid and adrenal function to fur-chewing in the chinchilla

The fur-chewing chinchillas showed increased thyroid activity (P < 0·5), increased adrenalcortical function (P < 0·05) and decreased rectal temperature (P < 0·01). This study suggested that increased endocrine activity could be due to the loss of insulation over the...
