It was found that the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) of rat, selectively bred for increased cholinergic function, performed poorly in a tone-cued two-way active avoidance task in comparison with the control Flinders Restraint Line (FRL) of rat. These findings are consistent with the suggestion that the FSL rats may be a genetic animal model of depression.
研究发现,为增强胆碱能功能而经选择性培育的大鼠弗林德斯敏感系(FSL),与对照大鼠弗林德斯抗性系(FRL)相比,在音调提示双向主动回避任务中表现较差。这些发现与FSL大鼠可能是抑郁症基因动物模型这一观点相一致。
