Title

Validation of chronic restraint stress model in young adult rats for the study of depression using longitudinal multimodal MR imaging

Overall design

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between neurobiological and behavioral changes in the chronic restraint stress (CRS) rat model by performing multimodal MRI (rs-fMRI, 1H-MRS, and structural MRI) and behavioral tests on the same young adult male rats before and after induction of the model. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into the following 2 groups: (1) control group, and (2) CRS group (chronic restraint for 13 days). The concentrations of GABA, glutamate (Glu), glutamine (Gln), and Glu-Gln (Glx) were measured before and after CRS. Metabolite quantification was reported relative to total creatine as the reference peak.
