The development of mild forms of anxiety and neuroveg-etative and/or cognitive responses to stress may represent an adaptive evolutionary step against environmentally (external) or self-triggered (internal) threats, but maladaptive reactions have also emerged in human evolution. Thus, anxiety disorders are maladaptive conditions in which disproportionate responses to stress, or even self-evoked responses, are displayed. Anxiety disorders are one of the most frequent psychiatric illnesses, and have a lifetime prevalence of 15- 20% [1, 89]. The most common presentations are generalized anxiety disorder, with a lifetime prevalence rate of close to 5% [1, 89] social anxiety disorder, with very variable lifetime prevalence rates ranging from 2 to 14% [90] panic disorder, with rates from 2 to 4% [1,89] and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with a prevalence rate close to 8%. Specific phobias, acute stress and obsessive-compulsive behavior are other clinical presentations of anxiety disorders.

Nocturnal habits and dark living environments have led to the evolution of olfaction as a major method of communication in many rodents. Although the dark and cramped habitats of many rodents complicate the study of their behavior, they can mostly be bred in large numbers under controlled conditions at modest cost and they are therefore ideal animals to use in the study of certain semiochemical phenomena. A considerable body of information on the chemical cues regulating the social and reproductive systems of these animals has thus been gathered over the last two to three decades.
