The number of patients with mental disorders is increasing in advanced countries. Many researchers are working to develop mental disorder model animals that contribute to development of new psychotropic drugs. However, we have some doubts about conventional mental disorder models. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop an experimental setup to create novel mental disorder model animals...
In psychology and basic medical science, many studies have been performed with experiments on animals such as rats and mice, to clarify mechanisms of mental disorders. With this aim, several ldquomental disorder modelrdquo rats and mice have been developed by genetic manipulation, giving psychotropic drugs, injuring their brain or breeding under special conditions. ldquoSocial interaction testrdquo...
Behavior synchronization of humans during conversation and cooperative task has been studied in psychology. In robotics, several researchers also have been studying cooperative task between a human and a robot referring to these studies. However, mechanisms of behavior synchronization are still unclear because of complexity of human being. Therefore, referring to animal psychology, we propose a novel...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of diacylglycerol oil following long-term administration to rats. Diacylglycerol oil is an edible oil with comparable taste and physicochemical properties of several naturally occurring oils. Diacylglycerol oil can be used as a replacement for any generally used edible oil in the home and has been approved for use in cooking oil in Japan...
To investigate the influence of cerebral hypoperfusion on learning behaviours, we developed a novel rat cerebral hypoperfusion model, in which the bilateral internal carotid arteries were permanently ligated to reduce the cerebral blood flow, and examined its behavioural and histopathological consequences in comparison to those occurring after bilateral common carotid ligation. In the Morris water...
