Assessing Anxiety in Nonhuman Primates

Abstract: Anxiety can be broadly described as a psychological state in which normally innocuous environmental stimuli trigger negative emotional expectations. Human anxiety disorders are multidimensional and may be organic or acquired, situational or pervasive. The broad ranging nature of the anxiety phenotype speaks to the need for models that identify its various components and root causes to develop effective clinical treatments. The cross-species comparative approach to modeling anxiety disorders in animals aims to … Show more

“…Compared with other tests of emotional reactivity, the HI task is better suited for longitudinal testing of monkeys, since monkeys do not seem to habituate to repeated exposures to the task (Kalin & Shelton, 1998). The HI task is designed to assess emotional reactivity to a social stressor (Kalin, 1993), and the modulation of emotional behavior to different levels of social threat based on the gaze direction of an unfamiliar human [reviewed in (Coleman & Pierre, 2014)]. In addition, the HI task has been shown to rapidly activate the HPA axis and stimulate the release of glucocorticoids (Jahn et al, 2010; Kalin, Larson, Shelton, & Davidson, 1998; Kalin, Shelton, Davidson, & Kelley, 2001; Raper et al, 2013a; Raper et al, 2013b).…”

“…In nonhuman primates, it is hard to determine whether the individuals differ in their anxiety levels, or in any other personal traits, yet there are some possible ways to assess anxiety in nonhuman primates (for a review, see Coleman & Pierre, 2014). Examples are provoked response tests, associative conditioning and startle response tests and cognitive bias tests.…”

“…34,35 is one of the most commonly used tests to assess anxiety and the related temperamental trait of behavioral inhibition in young macaques. 30 This test was used to measure behavioral responses in three situations: being alone in a novel cage, being in the presence of a human stranger whose gaze was diverted (a potentially threatening stimulus), and being in the presence of a human stranger making direct eye contact (an overt threat).…”

“…For raw p-values less than 0.05, we report the BenjaminiHochberg adjusted p value (q) as well. Because an individual's response to one stimulus does not necessarily predict how it will respond to other stimuli 30 , we utilized the Benjamini-Hochberg within each testing paradigm (i.e., IBAS testing, response to provocative tests, home cage testing). Post hoc comparisons (using the Tukey or its nonparametric equivalent, the Nemenyi test), were carried out on significant findings.…”
