Resumen

El test de natación forzada es un método utilizado para evaluar el comportamiento depresivo en roedores. Las modificaciones del procedimiento del test de natación forzada desarrollado por Porsolt y su influencia en sus resultados es un tema que suscita controversia y ha sido analizado en numerosos estudios. El comportamiento del animal se analiza generalmente mediante el registro de intervalos parciales, dividiendo el tiempo total de grabación en intervalos iguales y registrando manualmente la conducta predominante durante ese tiempo. A pesar de la influencia del método de registro en los resultados posteriores, esta cuestión no se ha analizado ni normalizado. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprobar si la representatividad de los datos se ve afectada por la longitud del intervalo de observación, registrando a 3, 5 y 10 seg la conducta (inmovilidad, natación y escalada) de los mismos sujetos. Se utilizo una muestra no patológica de ratas Wistar macho y hembra adultas. Los resultados mostraron que no existen diferencias significativas entre estos intervalos analizados en la prueba de natación forzada para las 3 principales conductas registradas.
