摘要 | Previous research demonstrated excessive decreases in reward sensitivity and increases in harm avoidance in depressed individuals. These results straightly lead to a hypothesis that depressed patients should avoid novelty or express reduced novelty-seeking behavior. Nevertheless, literature in this regard is inconsistent. Furthermore, whether the potentially altered novelty-associated behavior is dependent on changed anxiety/fear or related to altered goal-directed approaching tendency is unclear. Here, we tested novel object-approaching behavior in a free-exploration paradigm in chronic mild stress (CMS)-induced anhedonic and stress-resistant rats respectively. Other CMS-induced, emotional behaviors were also examined in a battery of behavioral tests including novel cage, exploration, locomotor activity and elevated plus maze (EPM). We found that compared with controls, stress-resistant rats who consistently showed lower anxiety level in EPM (time in open arms) and, open-field (OF) test (time in central area) showed no sign of enhanced novel object approaching behavior. To the contrary, the anhedonic ones who did not express any sign of reduced anxiety showed paradoxically intensified novelty-approaching behavior. We concluded that reduced anxiety would not necessarily lead to enhanced novelty-seeking behavior; anhedonia coexists with anxiety-independent, increased novelty-seeking behavior. The salient paradox of coexistence of anhedonia and increased novelty-seeking behavior was critically discussed. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
