Why is it essential to understand animal behavior?
Behavioral neuroscience bridges the gap between brain function and observable behavior. By studying how rodents behave in controlled environments, researchers gain insights into neurological disorders, drug effects, and fundamental brain processes.
Rodent models are essential for preclinical research in areas such as anxiety, depression, learning and memory, motor function, and social behavior.
Topics covered in this e-book:
- checkOpen field test and locomotor activity
- checkElevated plus maze for anxiety
- checkMorris water maze for spatial learning
- checkNovel object recognition
- checkSocial interaction tests
- checkHome cage monitoring
