Research Topics


The Behavioral Analysis Platform (Service Commun d’AnalyseComportementale, SCAC), a scientific and technological infrastructure for biomedical research, is an IBiSA (Infrastructures en Biologie Santé et Agronomie) behavioral and functional exploration platform. SCAC platform allows to study feeding and metabolism disorders, nutrition, mood disorders (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, autistic spectrum), learning and memory, development disorders (neonatal development and maternal behavior), pain, motor behavior (spontaneous activity, motor coordination, sensorimotor gaiting), wake fulness and sleep disorders, addiction (appetitive oraversive properties), neurotoxicity, stroke, etc. It is localized in the research building of the Faculty of Health of the University of Rouen-Normandy. SCAC platform brings together various classical and high-performance automated equipments, both classical and newly developed, to the forefront of current technology. The studies in SCAC platform are performed according to French and European Communities Council Directives (86/609/EEC + 2010/63/UE). SCAC platform is open to regional, national and international scientific community or customers, where public and private customers can access in 3 modes including autonomous utilization, scientific collaboration and request of service. The mode of access to the platform depends on the customer’s request, the degree of expertise of the customer and the restricted access to certain equipment of the platform. Depending on the affiliation/origin of the customer (University of Rouen Normandy, public organization or private company) 3 different rates are applied (see https://scac-irib.univ-rouen.fr).

Activity


Main activities
The Behavioral Analysis Platform (Service Commun d’Analyse Comportementale, SCAC) offers to the scientific community several services organized in 6 sections which covera large spectrum of applications in the field of neuroscience and experimental pharmacology, from the establishments and subsequent use of animal models, reproducing nutritional, neurodegenerative, emotional, dementia, sleep and motor diseases affecting humans, to the pharmaco-therapeutic aspects of new compounds, characterization of new biological targets and investigation of mechanisms of their action. This facility is specialized in the creation and evaluation of animal models, mainly rodents, to characterize complete behavioral phenotypes and in the reproducibility of our experimental models presenting deficits of neurological, psychiatric, metabolic order or associated to the ageing and stroke and consequently to be able to test new pharmacological drugs with therapeutic aim. It offers state-of-the-art technologies and professional resources to facilitate researcher’s projects. The offers relative to each section concern the following application fields:
  • Section-1: Motor and sensory perception disorders: to study locomotor activity or locomotor reactivity, motor performance, muscular muscle strength, motor strength and sensory-motor coordination in the pathologies of the central and/or peripheral nervous system (e.g. neurodegenerative diseases, injuries, traumas, etc), muscular, osteo-articular, pain syndromes, behavioral pharmacology like drug-addiction related on alcohol or drugs, as well as analgesic properties of pharmacological drugs and assess pain sensitivity as part of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. etc.
  • Section-2: Emotional disorders: to evaluate anxiolytic or anxiogenic properties, antidepressant or depressant properties of compounds or neurological manipulations; to study disturbances in the social behavior and the social recognition in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, etc.
  • Section-3: Metabolic and Nutritional disorders: to study eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia) and to detect the phenotype in energy metabolism, glucose homeostasis and intestinal function through preclinical non-invasive measures of food and water intake, as well as food choice, O2 consumption, CO2 production, respiratory quotient, whole energy expenditure together with spontaneous activity, fine movement, exercise capacity and endurance.  
  • Section-4: Cognitif disorders: to study several aspects of cognition like learning, memory and attention abilities, spatial memory, working memory, reference memory and short or long-term memory.
  • Section-5: Neurobiology of rhythms: to evaluate circadian rythms, sleep disorders, sleep quality, wake and breathing in various pathologies.
  • Section-6: Several drug-addiction aspects: to detect the induction of aversive or appetitive emotional states by pharmacological compounds, the addictive potential of various compounds and to characterize vulnerability factors to addiction.
 

Complementary activities
  • European Quality in Preclinical Data (EQPD) Stakeholder to Increase the robustness and validity of behavioral and physiological testing in animal studies
  • Training and education
  • Scientific information release and science promotion to public
  • Development of new technological approaches in behavioral fields Industrial partnerships



Main Contributions


  • Development of new approaches to evaluate simultaneously the relationship between multiple behavioral phenotypes in rodents.
  • Development, by directed reproduction, of animal model of anxiety and/or depression or autism based on the social interaction concept.
  • Development, based on directed reproduction, of animal model presenting or not a behavioral feature subject of anxious symptomatology, without interference with helplessness.
  • Developmentofanimalmodelof activity-basedanorexia (ABA).
  • Development of new approaches of non invasive evaluation of metabolism, bycalorimetry (energy expenditure, assimilated energy, respiratory quotient, ect...).
  • Pharmacological studies (functional and behavioral) of new neuropeptides as 26RFamide, Endomorphin-1 & -2, Octadecaneuropeptide (ODN, Diazepam Binding Inhibitor33-50), Nociceptin, PACAP.
  • Pharmaco-therapeutic aspects studies of new molecules potently antidepressants and/or anxiolytics, aiming to characterize new biological targets and to develop new therapeutic strategies of mood disorders (anxiety and depression).
  • Physiopathology of mood disorders (better knowledge of the mechanisms involved in these pathologies, by behavioral and pharmacological validation of new animal models of anxiety and/or depression).
  • Physiopathology of feeding disorders (better knowledge of the mechanisms involved in these pathologies, by behavioral and pharmacological studies).
  • Role of autoantibodies against appetite-regulating neuropeptides in eating and neuropsychiatric disorders.
