Methods in Neurosciences, Volume 14: Paradigms for the Study of
Behavior is a collection of articles that describes the methods for
measuring a wide range of behavior. This volume covers the means for
measuring different behaviors, such as reproductive, maternal, sexual,
aggression, social interactions, feeding behavior, memory analysis,
and classical conditioning. The opening papers outline the proper
conditions and practical considerations in which the researcher can
study the sexual and reproductive behavior of animals in the
laboratory. Another paper describes how to assess aggressiveness in
rodents including ethical issues involved in such study. The book then
discusses the effects of intracerebral administration of neuropeptides
in rats using surgical and stereotaxic methods. Another paper presents
the measurement of behavioral thermoregulatory reflexes to show acuity
of temperature sensation and thermoregulatory control. This volume
also discusses the measurement of song-learning behavior in birds
through ""sensorimotor,"" ""action-based,"" and ""sensory"" methods of
learning. This book will be helpful for students, scientists,
technicians, and laboratory workers whose work involves experiments
that need to be accurately measured.
