Animal Models of Maladaptive Traits: Disorders in Sensorimotor Gating and Attentional Quantifiable Responses as Possible Endophenotypes

Abstract: Traditional diagnostic scales are based on a number of symptoms to evaluate and classify mental diseases. In many cases, this process becomes subjective, since the patient must calibrate the magnitude of his/her symptoms and therefore the severity of his/her disorder. A completely different approach is based on the study of the more vulnerable traits of cognitive disorders. In this regard, animal models of mental illness could be a useful tool to characterize indicators of possible cognitive dysfunctions in hu… Show more

“…Studies carried out by our research group have shown that these two groups might follow different patterns regarding impulse control stimuli and the attention span depends on external factors, but with different results. The way this endophenotypes respond to cues may predict vulnerability to compulsive behavioral disorders 31 and could work as a model to evaluate individual differences regarding impulsivity and attention factors 33 . The analysis at several levels of these endophenotypic differences could further our understanding of different behavior disorders related to the reinforcement system.…”

“…En cuanto a la neuroquímica se refiere, la dopamina es el neurotransmisor de referencia tanto en la producción como en la modulación de la IPP, y las principales alteraciones en la IPP se relacionan con anomalías en este sistema de neurotransmisión [3,4,6]. Se considera que el sujeto con alteración de la función dopaminérgica es incapaz de filtrar la información irrelevante del entorno debido a que las funciones inhibitorias reguladas por este neurotransmisor están afectadas [27,28].…”

“…La relación de la IPP con la dopamina plantea su uso también en el ámbito de la adicción, y, aunque hasta el momento los estudios son escasos, existen evidencias que apuntan a su utilidad en los trastornos por uso de sustancias. Está demostrado que el consumo de drogas altera el sistema dopaminérgico mesolímbico [35], que también es el sistema responsable de la IPP [3,6], y es de esperar, por ello, diferencias en la producción de la IPP según el consumo de drogas. Kumari et al [36] evalúan el cambio de la IPP antes y después de la administración de una dosis baja de anfetamina (activación del sistema) y observan que la IPP no varía en los sujetos que no fuman, mientras que disminuye en los fumadores.…”
