Abstract;Phencyclidine(PCP) can induce that mimics the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia in humans. The social behavior deficit in mice was produced by treatment with PCP(10mg/kg/day) for 14 days, which persisted for 4 weeks after withdrawal. In the present study, effect of several antipsychotic on PCP reduced social behavior deficit in a dose and time dependent fashion in mice. The social behavior deficit by treatment with PCP (10mg/kg/day) for 14 days was attenuated by rispridone (1mg/kg/day) given for 7 days, whereas diazepam or low-dose risperidone (0.5mg/kg/day) for 7 days had no effect. Fluvoxamine (30mg/kg/day), alone at the same treatment dose increased social behavior in PCP-treated mice. These results suggest that the proposed PCP model in mice will provide a tool to test beneficial effects of atypical antipsychotics on social dysfunction in schizophrenia, and contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms by which risperidone or fluvoxamine improves social behavior deficit.
