The types of animal model in the comorbidity of depression and addiction.

Disorder Model Characteristic Reference
Addiction Self-administration (SA) The animals were trained to obtain an intravenous fluid injection by performing operant response, for example pressing a lever or the inserting its snout into a hole. Li et al. (2018)
Addiction Intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) This procedure is based on the observation that rats will press a lever to pass a small current through electrodes located in various brain areas. Melis et al. (2005)
Addiction conditioned place preference (CPP) A Pavlovian conditioning procedure inwhich the animal learns to prefer an environment that is paired with drug effects. Siahposht-Khachaki et al. (2016)
Depression Chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model CSDS simulates the pathogenesis of depression at a social level. With a frequently performed stimulation, model rodents manifest a stress response to produce long-term behavioral and psychosocial change. Koo et al. (2019)
Depression Olfactory bulbectomy (OBX) model The bilateral ablation of the olfactory bulbs was performed, it is a well-established model of depression with high face, construct, and predictive validity which closely mimics neurochemical, neuroanatomical, behavioral and endocrine changes seen in patients with major depression. Babinska et al. (2016)
Depression p11 KO model p11 loss within neurons of the NAc induces depression-like behaviors. Alexander et al. (2010)
Depression The KOR agonies induce depression-like behavior SalvA increased ICSS thresholds and significantly lowered breakpoint on the progressive ratio schedule, indicating a decrease in motivation. Ebner et al. (2010)
Depression Chronic restraint stress Animals are placed in restraint tubes for several hours daily, repeated over several days. Thompson et al. (2015)
Comorbidity The KOR agonist +CPP Stress-induced activation of KOR by endogenous dynorphin opioids may enhance the rewarding valence of drugs of abuse by potentiating the evoked dopamine response. Ehrich et al. (2014)
Comorbidity Chronic mild restraint (CMR)+morphine-CPP Rats undergoing CMR, which were evaluated for novelty-seeking, forced open-space swimming, and locomotor activity to validate CMR as a depression- like model Rats undergoing CMR were trained for morphine-induced CPP. Gao et al. (2012)
Comorbidity OBX model + intravenous self-administration A rat model of depression and addiction dual disorder where olfactory bulbectomized animals was developed and it showed a significantly higher vulnerability in methamphetamine intravenous self-administration (IVSA) paradigm. Babinska et al. (2016)
Comorbidity CSDS + SA The activational effect of ostensibly aversive events such as social stress on the acquisition of cocaine self-administration, an intensely reinforcing event, prompts a closer scrutiny of the behavioral features that may inform on the reinforcing efficacy of the drug. Miczek and Mutschler (1996)
Comorbidity CSDS+CPP SDS has also been shown to enhance the sensitivity to cocaine CPP. Ribeiro Do Couto et al. (2009)
Comorbidity GSK3β knockdown Knocked down GSK3β expression with a novel adeno-associated viral vector (AAV2) and assessed changes in anxiety- and depression-like behavior and cocaine self-administration in GSK3β knockdown rats. Crofton et al. (2017)
Comorbidity P11 KO +SA It may be a comorbid model, but experiments are needed to prove whether it can be a comorbid model. Warner-Schmidt et al. (2012)
Comorbidity CHT+/– mice+SA It may be a comorbid model, but experiments are needed to prove whether it can be a comorbid model. Dong et al. (2013)
