Abstract excerpt
Inter-individual differences in emotional reactivity predict susceptibility versus resilience to mood pathology. Using experimentally-naïve outbred rats that vary in locomotor reactivity to the mild stress of an inescapable novel environment [i.e., top and bottom 1/3rd of the population identified as high responders (HR) and low responders (LR) respectively], we determined baseline variations in immune functions....
