Re: Neurobiology of SSRI's

Interestingly, there is a tendency in biological circles to favour animal models such as canine acral lick dermatitis and the rat-pup ultrasonic squeak response (no, I'm not kidding). These are fantastically poor models, and don't measure up to the best available animal model, which is never mentioned in biological research circles. This is, of course, shuttlebox avoidance (cf Solomon, Kamin and Wynne). Is it possible, do you think, that the reason for the neglect of this model is that it is an acquired (learned) behaviour? Surely not.
