Methods of Behavior Analysis in Neuroscience

A comprehensive reference for the most well-studied behavioral approaches in animal subjects, this book examines disease effects and therapeutic treatments. The second edition features material on the relevance of transgenic mouse models for Alzheimer’s disease, behavioral methods for assessing the cognitive impairment associated with major psychotic disorders, the revival of the scopolamine reversal model for assessing the clinical relevance of new AD drugs, and new approaches for assessing cognitive impairment in aged mice. Each chapter presents theoretical background, methodology, and data interpretation.
