A series of experiments assessed the effects of uncontrollable stress on escape behavior and on levels of brain dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) among mice housed in social isolation or in groups. Exposure to 60 inescapable foot-shocks markedly disrupted escape performance. The magnitude of the deficits was more pronounced among mice housed individually than in mice that had been group-housed. The progressively greater escape deficits seen over the 168-h period following the initial stress appeared to be due to the interaction between shock treatment and isolation. Exposure to 60 inescapable shocks resulted in hypothalamic and hippocampal NE depletion, regardless of housing condition. Exposure to 30 shocks resulted in NE depletion in isolated but not group-housed mice. Although the NE depletion produced by 60 shocks was transient, reexposure to 10 shocks 24 h later reinduced the depletion. Such an effect was independent of housing condition but absolute levels of NE were lower in isolated than group-housed mice. The behavioral deficits induced by uncontrollable stress were discussed in terms of the contribution of catecholamine changes induced by stress.
