CSDS

Extracted Explainers

What the tool is doing

CSDS is described as a frequently used mouse model for depression. It is included among the chronic stress paradigms used to study dendritic spine remodeling.

Source 2DOIPubMed

CSDS is the behavioral paradigm used to define susceptibility and resilience in mice in this study.

Source 3DOIPubMed

Resources required

The abstract supports that the work is done in mice under a chronic social defeat stress paradigm, but does not provide procedural details.

Source 3DOIPubMed

What problem it solves

It provides a commonly used stress-based depression model in rodents.

Source 2DOIPubMed

It provides the disease-relevant context in which circuit manipulations are linked to depression-related susceptibility phenotypes.

Source 3DOIPubMed

What it does not solve

The abstract states that it is limited to the study of male mice.

Source 2DOIPubMed

The abstract does not establish that CSDS captures all aspects of human depression or specify how broadly the findings generalize.

Source 3DOIPubMed

Alternatives

The abstract lists CRS and CUMS as alternative chronic stress models.

Linked Claims

Claim 1behavioral phenotypesupports2022Source 1DOIPubMed

Following chronic social defeat stress, a subset of male and female mice classified as susceptible avoid social interaction with non-aggressive same-sex juvenile C57BL/6J mice and fail to develop context-dependent social reward from those encounters.

Claim 2limitationsupports2016Source 2DOIPubMed

CSDS is one of the most frequently used models for depression but is limited to the study of male mice.

Claim 3model usagesupports2016Source 2DOIPubMed

CRS, CUMS, and CSDS have been used to recapitulate depression-like behaviors in rodents and to study underlying mechanisms.

Claim 4causal perturbation effectsupports2015Source 3DOIPubMed

Acute enhancement of ventral hippocampus to nucleus accumbens input is pro-susceptible.

Claim 5causal perturbation effectsupports2015Source 3DOIPubMed

Attenuation of ventral hippocampus to nucleus accumbens transmission by optogenetic induction of long-term depression is pro-resilient.

Claim 6mechanistic rolesupports2015Source 3DOIPubMed

Glutamatergic ventral hippocampal afferents to the nucleus accumbens regulate susceptibility to chronic social defeat stress.

Claim 7specificity comparisonsupports2015Source 3DOIPubMed

The pro-susceptibility effect is specific to ventral hippocampal afferents to the nucleus accumbens because optogenetic stimulation of medial prefrontal cortex or amygdala afferents to the nucleus accumbens is pro-resilient.

Claim 8state associationsupports2015Source 3DOIPubMed

Mice resilient to chronic social defeat stress show reduced activity in the ventral hippocampus.
