O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Teoria e Pesquisa do Comportamento (PPGTPC), que integra o Núcleo de Teoria e Pesquisa do Comportamento(NTPC) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), iniciou suas atividades em 1987 com o curso de Mestrado Acadêmico em Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa do Comportamento. O curso de Doutorado passou a ser oferecido a partir do ano 2000.

Interações e relações sociais de macaco-prego (Sapajus apella) em cativeiro com isolamento do indivíduo durante a alimentação: um estudo descritivo
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-08-29) SIMÕES, Andrei de Souza; GAROTTI, Marilice Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2218504886013525
The behavior of groups of Sapajus apella living in natural surroundings, captive and semi-captive are reasons of many scientific studies. The term refers to restrictive environmental conditions planned for the purpose of ensuring the health and quality of life of individuals, as individual boxes of food, escape routes in case of physical attacks, no females in some cages and even the withdrawal of puppies to ensure their survival. Whereas these restrictions eliminate or minimize relevant parameters involved in understanding the social structure of the monkeys, such as kinship, reproduction, foraging and pressure within and between groups, this project aims to identify and describe the interactions and relationships observed in these contexts, which leads even the questions about the role of the alpha male in these environments. For this, the interactions of twelve individuals residing in three cages of Experimental School of Primates (UFPA) were recorded and, according to the literature, categorized as non-interactive, affiliative and agonistic. The records of the categories were performed based on sampling by observational record of events, focal subject. This technique allowed detecting different interactions and relationships developed in this captivity, and the design matrix for the exchange of social favors. In short, there was a reduction of agonistic behavior among individuals from each cage when compared to specimens in natural habitats; in one cage, harboring four juveniles, the highest frequency of affiliative behavior, rough and social play; grooming, one of main affiliative interactions in primates, was in low frequency, mainly among adults; there was a high frequency of stereotyped behavior in adult cages, but not in the juveniles’; partial social hierarchies were shown in adult’s cages, which is normally observed only for large groups found in nature. In conclusion, relationships established through time in the cages highlight the well-fair of groups of individuals and are essential to be known when the aim is to study animals in captivity.

Validação farmacológica da esquiva Inibitória do Danio Rerio
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-06-12) SANTOS, Bruno Rodrigues; GOUVEIA JUNIOR, Amauri; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417327467050274
The Danio rerio is a fish species widely used in emerging models of anxiety due to well described behavior, anatomy, neuroanatomy and biochemistry. The inhibitory avoidance test is an anxiety-related parameters in the model development that described a suppressed behavior emitted to avoid an aversive stimulus. This experiment aimed to describe the inhibitory avoidance averssiveness of white side and the pharmacological validation of this test by using the following drugs: antidepressants - fluoxetine (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg) and imipramine (4, 8 and 16 mg/kg), anxiolytics - diazepam (0.06, 1.25 and 2 , 5 mg/kg) and clonazepam (0.02, 0.05 and 1.10 mg/kg), and stimulants - diethylpropion (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) and caffeine (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg). The data confirm the aversiveness of the white side in inhibitory avoidance test. Flouxetine, imipramine, caffeine and dietilpropione have anxiogenic-like effect and imapaired inhibitory avoidance, excluding imipramine 8 mg/kg who facilitates its acquisition. Diazepam also facilitates inhibitory avoidance acquisition and clonazepam show anxiolytic-like effect on this test. These data show the effectiveness of inhibitory avoidance test as a model to study axiety.
