The exploratory behavior of rats in an open environment optimizes security

Environmental Enrichment Facilitates Anxiety in Conflict-Based Tests but Inhibits Predator Threat-Induced Defensive Behaviour in Male Mice

The findings suggest that enriched external environments can modify the processing of fear- and anxiety-related stimuli in dangerous situations, changing the decision-making defensive strategy.

Conditioned behavioral responses to a context paired with the predator odor trimethylthiazoline.

Results indicate that expression of conditioned fear behavior in response to a TMT-paired context is dependent on the experimental setup used, as well as the strategy of the individual rat.

Central infusion of ovine CRF (oCRF) potentiates defensive behaviors in CD-1 mice in the Mouse Defense Test Battery (MDTB)

Testing conditions in shock-based contextual fear conditioning influence both the behavioral responses and the activation of circuits potentially involved in contextual avoidance

Scopolamine Induces Deficits in Spontaneous Object-Location Recognition and Fear-Learning in Marmoset Monkeys

SCP impaired the marmosets’ short-term ability to detect changes associated with the spatial location of ethologically irrelevant stimuli and relevant stimuli and may help reduce the translational gap between pre-clinical studies and memory-associated human pathologies.

Short-Term Enrichment Makes Male Rats More Attractive, More Defensive and Alters Hypothalamic Neurons

Behavioral and hormonal observations provide evidence that a short period of environmental manipulation can alter innate behaviors, providing a good example of gene-environment interaction.

It is suggested that the anxiety process is initially associated with withdrawal and movement arrest, giving way to a crucial and long-lasting risk-assessment stage that provides information leading to either further defensiveness or a return to nondefensive behaviors.

Most of the studies fail to adequately demonstrate an unambiguous relationship between vigilance behaviour and group size, but many studies reveal interesting features of the relationship between Vigilance and Group size that should provide fruitful avenues for future research.
