E-grāmata: Experimental Animal Models in Neurobehavioral Research

This book describes methodological and conceptual advances in the study of sleep, depression, and anxiety, and how these domains interact. Contributors are recognized experts in the field from around the world, writing for an international audience of basic and clinical neuroscientists who are interested in behavioral neurophenotyping. The writing will also be accessible to students at the undergraduate level, while still providing an important update to graduate students and professional researchers in the disciplines of psychology, biology, and neuroscience. Some specific topics covered include methodological and theoretical issues in experimental modeling of anxiety in animals, unpredictable chronic mild stress in mice, understanding the stress response though mouse genetics, and a standardized behavioral test battery to identify and validate targets for neuropsychiatric diseases and pain.
