The validity of congenital helplessness as a genetic rat model for human depression was investigated in cortical regions of the rat brain thought to be analogous to those showing abnormalities in human neuroimaging studies. Cortex metabolism was analyzed using quantitative cytochrome oxidase histochemistry. Congenital helpless rats showed changes in frontal and cingulate regions comparable to those that have demonstrated metabolic differences in human depression. Significant metabolic decreases were found in dorsal frontal, medial orbital, and anterior cingulate, whereas a significant increase was found in infraradiata (subgenual) cingulate. The direction of these changes were the same as those seen in human studies. These findings support the validity of congenital helplessness as a model for human depression.
