Evidence Snippets
In rodents, the chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model has been used to understand the neurobiology underlying stress susceptibility versus resilience following social trauma
CSDS is one of the most frequently used models for depression, but it is limited to the study of male mice.

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.
CSDS is one of the most frequently used models for depression but is limited to the study of male mice.
CRS, CUMS, and CSDS have been used to recapitulate depression-like behaviors in rodents and to study underlying mechanisms.
Acute enhancement of ventral hippocampus to nucleus accumbens input is pro-susceptible.
Attenuation of ventral hippocampus to nucleus accumbens transmission by optogenetic induction of long-term depression is pro-resilient.
Glutamatergic ventral hippocampal afferents to the nucleus accumbens regulate susceptibility to chronic social defeat stress.
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.
Mice resilient to chronic social defeat stress show reduced activity in the ventral hippocampus.
