Effects of pro-depressant and immunomodulatory drugs on biases in decision-making in the rat judgement bias task
Claire A. Hales, Julia M. Bartlett, Roberto Arban…·Emma S. J. Robinson
This study tests how acute and chronic pro-depressant and immunomodulatory drugs affect decision-making bias in rats using a judgement bias task, finding chronic treatments induce negative biases while acute ones do not.

Role of the medial prefrontal cortex in the effects of rapid acting antidepressants on decision-making biases in rodents
Claire A. Hales, JM Bartlett, Roberto Arban…·Emma S. J. Robinson
This study investigates how rapid acting antidepressants like ketamine affect decision-making biases in rodents, identifying the medial prefrontal cortex as a key region involved.
