| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Partner-loss males of socially monogamous rodents showed increased anxiety-like behaviors in the open field test, low threshold of mechanical stimulus in von Frey tests and thermal stimulus in plantar test as compared to paired males. Furthermore, there was a correlation between anxiety-like behaviors and pain-related behaviors. The pain-related brain regions in partner-loss males showed decreased of Fos immunoreactivity during formalin-induced inflammatory pain as compared to paired ones, especially in the medial prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. In addition, Fos expression in oxytocin neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus also decreased, suggesting that the response of brain oxytocin to the pain stimulus reduced under partner-loss condition.
Together, partner loss elicits anxiety-like behaviors and alters pain-related behaviors and brain oxytocin system may be involved in neural processes underlying the pain modulation by social bonds in monogamous rodents.
