Time Perception Test in IntelliCage System for Preclinical Study: Linking Depression and Serotonergic Modulation by Olga Sysoeva, Rauf Akhmirov, Maria Zaichenko, Ivan Lazarenko, Anastasiya Rebik, Nadezhda Broshevitskaja, Inna Midzyanovskaya, Kirill Smirnov

“…Disturbances in time perception are also reported in depression with one of the behavioral schedules used to study interval timing, differential-reinforcement-learning-of-low-rate, having been shown to have high predictive validity for an antidepressant effect. Here, we introduce an IntelliCage research protocol of an interval bisection task that allows more ecologically valid and less time-consuming rodent examination and provides an example of its use to confirm the previously reported acute effect of an SRI, clomipramine, on interval timing (increase in bisection point, D50). …”
