Mood and memory-associated behaviors in neuropeptide Y5 knockout mice

Latest Interesting Papers: Mood and memory-associated behaviors in neuropeptide Y5 knockout mice

Masanobu Ito, Yvan Dumont, Remi Quirion report that Y5 receptors may be involved in mood-related behaviors. They report that under basal conditions Y5 KO and WT mice display similar mood behaviors and memory functions, but compared to WT, Y5 KO mice increase grooming and rearing in Open Field (as well as lower ratio entries in open arms in the elevated plus maze and increased immobility time on the second day of the FST)
