🔍 Are the Forced Swim Test (FST) and Tail Suspension Test (TST) Still Valid for Depression Research? 🐭 In a recent discussion on www.TheBehaviourForum.org, researchers debated the use of FST and TST for evaluating depression-like behaviors in mice. While these tests measure coping strategies, they fall short in capturing the complexity of depression. Here’s what experts recommend: 📌 Key Takeaways: • FST and TST might oversimplify depression, missing out on the multidimensional nature of mental health conditions. • Suggestions include testing multiple behavioral dimensions, leveraging AI/ML for deeper insights, and developing models that go beyond DSM-5 criteria. ▶️ Swipe through the images to read expert insights and potential solutions for improving preclinical models! 📈 join the discussion in the Forum ! #BehavioralResearch #Neuroscience #MentalHealthResearch #AnimalBehavior #AIinScience #LinkedInScience

Great time at the Danish 3R Center Symposium! Excellent networking and great presentations. A presentation on the important subject of enrichment was delivered by Vootele Voikar reminding us that in-cage enrichment is essential—not just for animal welfare but for reliable research. #3Rs #ResearchQuality #AnimalWelfare
