Background:

The relationship between serotonergic modulation and depression remains debated, yet serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are primary treatments.
Depression is associated with altered time perception, and interval timing tasks show predictive validity for antidepressant effects.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce an IntelliCage-based interval bisection task for ecologically valid and efficient rodent studies.
To validate the protocol by confirming the acute effect of clomipramine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI), on interval timing.

Main Methods:

Wistar rats were trained on an interval bisection task in IntelliCage chambers, discriminating between short (1s) and long (4s) light stimuli.
Intermediate durations were introduced, and choices were recorded after saline or clomipramine administration (7 mg/kg).
Interval timing parameters, including the bisection point (D50) and timing precision, were analyzed.

Main Results:

Rats successfully learned the interval bisection task within approximately one week.
Clomipramine administration resulted in a slight increase in the bisection point (D50), consistent with prior research.
Timing precision was also assessed.

Conclusions:

The IntelliCage interval bisection task provides a viable method for preclinical research on depression and related psychopathology.
This protocol can help investigate disturbances in time perception associated with various psychiatric conditions.
The findings support the role of serotonergic systems in modulating interval timing.
