The ascent of mouse: advances in modelling human depression and anxiety
Abstract
Psychiatry has proven to be among the least penetrable clinical disciplines for the development of satisfactory in vivo model systems for evaluating novel treatment approaches. However, mood and anxiety disorders remain poorly understood and inadequately treated. With the explosion in the use of genetically modified mice, enormous research efforts have been focused on developing mouse models of psychiatric disorders. The success of this approach is largely contingent on the usefulness of available behavioural models of depression- and anxiety-related behaviours in mice. Here, we assess the current status of research into developing appropriate tests for assessing such behaviours.

Exploration-based tasks cannot distinguish a reduced anxiety phenotype from increased novelty-seeking, exploration or impulsive approach behavior.
“A further confound of exploration-based tasks is that they cannot distinguish a reduced anxiety phenotype from increased novelty-seeking, exploration or impulsive approach behavior23.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
