[pt] Criao seletiva bidirecional de uma respostadefensiva ou qualquer outra caracterstica fenotpica uma tcnicana qual animais so criados com o objetivo de modificar afrequncia dos genes que esto subjacentes a um fentipo emparticular. O acasalamento de animais de uma determinada populaocom base nos extremos opostos de uma caracterstica observvel vaipropagar, aps diversas geraes, este fentipo particular emdirees opostas, levando-se criao de duas linhagenscontrastantes. No presente trabalho empregamos o congelamentocondicionado em resposta a estmulos contextuais previamenteassociados com choques eltricos nas patas como critrio de seleopara o desenvolvimento de duas novas linhagens de ratos. Oprotocolo bsico consistiu de acasalamento entre machos e fmeasWistar com as maiores e as menores taxas de congelamentocondicionado em resposta a sinais contextuais da cmaraexperimental onde os animais foram expostos a trs choqueseltricos no sinalizados no dia anterior. O Estudo 1 apresenta osresultados iniciais de quatorze geraes de criao seletiva. Osresultados mostraram que diferenas significativas entre estas duaslinhagens foram encontradas aps 3 geraes, indicando um fortecomponente hereditrio deste tipo de aprendizagem. As linhagensforam denominadas Cariocas com Alto Congelamento Condicionado (CAC)e Cariocas com Baixo Congelamento condicionado (CBC). Alm disso,ns introduzimos um terceiro grupo de animais aleatoriamenteselecionados (CTRL) em nosso programa de criao seletiva. NoEstudo 2 investigamos os diferentes padres de extino e dareaquisio do medo condicionado nestas duas novas linhagens. Porfim, no Estudo 3, nossos resultados sugeriram uma dissociao entreo medo contextual e o medo discreto entre animais CAC eCBC. [en] Bidirectional selective breeding of a defensiveresponse or any other phenotypic characteristic is a technique inwhich animals are bred to modify the frequency of the genes thatunderlie a particular phenotype. Mating animals within a populationbased on the opposite extremes of an observable characteristic willpush, over many generations, this particular phenotype in oppositedirections, leading to two separately bred lines. In the presentwork we employed the conditioned freezing in response to contextualcues previously associated with footshock as the phenotypecriterion for developing two new rat lines. The basic protocolconsisted of mating male and female albino Wistar rats with thehighest and lowest conditioned freezing in response to thecontextual cues of the experimental chamber where animals wereexposed to three unsignaled electric footshocks on the previousday. Study 1 presents the initial results of fourteen generationsof selective breeding. We found that after three generations,reliable differences between these two lines were already present,indicating a strong heritable component of this type of learning.The lines were named Carioca High conditioned Freezing (CHF) andCarioca Low conditioned FreezingAdvisors/Committee Members: JESUS LANDEIRA FERNANDEZ.
