Books in the Techniques in the Behavioral and Neural Sciences series

Focuses on the impact of stressful events on the functioning of the central nervous system; how stress affects molecular and cellular processes in the brain; and, how these brain processes determine our perception of and reactivity to, stressful challenges - acutely and in the long-run. This volume provides an overview of the field of stress.

Focuses on the impact of stressful events on the functioning of the central nervous system and how stress affects molecular and cellular processes in the brain. Written for the scientific audience, this handbook comprehensively reviews key principles and facts to provide a clear overview of the interdisciplinary field of stress.

This text indicates those variables which in general may need a better control. Examples illustrate the impact that those variables may have on various characteristics. A series of representative studies are presented so that insight can be obtained about the effects of these parameters.

Offers an overview of recombinant DNA techniques for the behavioral neuroscientist, with illustrative examples of applications. This book covers species such as rodents, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans and Danio rerio. It provides experimental techniques required to characterize the behavioral phenotypes of mutant animals.

Intended for scientists planning experiments in medical and behavioral research, this handbook and dictionary is also recommended as a textbook for students of Experimental Design or accompanying courses in Statistics. It provides short explanations for many terms related to experimental design.
