Behavioral neuroscience application areas
Learning and memory
Learning and memory refer to how the brain processes, stores, and retrieves information. Research on these processes helps understand and treat conditions like Alzheimer's, dementia, and amnesia.
Fear, anxiety and stress
These emotional responses are regulated by the brain, and research into these conditions provides insights into therapies for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and related mood disorders.
Long term behavior observation
Continuous monitoring in a homecage environment captures natural behaviors and provides accurate insights into an animal's activity, including feeding, drinking, and sleep cycles.
Social tests
Research on social interactions offers insights into behavior patterns like aggression, cooperation, and bonding, relevant for studying human conditions such as autism and schizophrenia.
Brain imaging and optogenetics
These techniques allow researchers to control and monitor neuron activity, advancing studies on neurological disorders like Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and depression.
Gait Analysis
Studies on gait and locomotion assess motor function and the impact of treatments, providing valuable insights into conditions like Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries.
Ultrasonic Vocalizations
Analyzing animal vocalizations provides insights into communication, stress, and behavior, enhancing research in neuroscience, pharmacology, and behavioral studies.
Zebrafish research
Zebrafish are used to study treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders and serve as a valuable model for research in ecotoxicology due to their genetic similarities to humans.
