Animal-friendly methods for rodent behavioral testing in neuroscience research
Rodent behavioral testing has been used to study brain functions since the 1890s and has become a gold-standard model in modern neuroscience. Up to the 1950s, most behavioral tests on laboratory rodent models were based on punishments and rewards. Both approaches can lead to a certain degree of animal pain or suffering. Punishments involved the employment of painful stimuli, typically electric shocks. Passive avoidance and fear conditioning tests, among the most widely used behavioral paradigms used to evaluate learning and memory in rodents, can be performed using only a single brief shock. Other tests, such as the active avoidance, might require up to tens or hundreds of shocks, strongly c...
Memory Mass Storage
Memory Mass Storage describes the fundamental storage technologies, like Semiconductor, Magnetic, Optical and Uncommon, detailing the main technical characteristics of the storage devices. It deals not only with semiconductor and hard disk memory, but also with different ways to manufacture and assembly them, and with their application to meet market requirements. It also provides an introduction to the epistemological issues arising in defining the process of remembering, as well as an overview on human memory, and an interesting excursus about biological memories and their organization, to better understand how the best memory we have, our brain, is able to imagine and design memory.
Neuronal cell signaling and behavior
Learning and memory functions as well as many neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, drug addiction and schizophrenia are caused by dysregulation of cell signaling mechanisms in the brain. This issue of Frontiers will provide evidence for signal transduction alterations implicated in cognitive and non cognitive behaviors, as investigated by means of pharmacological and genetic approaches. Specialists in the field will be invited to contribute articles covering the impact on behavior of manipulations of neurotransmitter systems, intracellular signaling cascades and gene expression.
Introduction To Psychology
“Introductory Psychology” serves as an all-encompassing handbook meant to introduce students to the discipline of psychology and help them build their knowledge from the ground up. It’s an essential tool for newcomers to the field of psychology and anthropology. This book is a must-have for freshman-level psychology classes since it provides a comprehensive overview of the field. This textbook introduces students to the fundamentals of psychology and acts as a resource for those just entering the discipline. Many of psychology’s cornerstone concepts are introduced, from its origins and methodology through its biological underpinnings, cognition, growth, social psychology, personality...
