This volume looks at the framework in which different scientific disciplines are integrated into the latest studies in behavioral neurogenetics, and covers new approaches toward understanding the system that controls behavior across the animal kingdom. automated behavior analysis using a YOLO-based object detection system;

Recent developments in lesion-symptom mapping (LSM) have spurred rapid growth. The chapters cover the definition and types of brain lesions, how to prepare them for analysis, standard LSM methods, network-based LSM methods, and approaches of transient lesions induced by brain stimulation.

The collected research methods and protocols include the dissection of Notch functional sites, Notch regulators, Notch activity reporters and analysis, roles of Notch in development and diseases, wet and dry lab tools and studies, and bioinformatics analysis.

This book brings together a unique collection of protocols that cover novel and specialized techniques as well as updated and improved adaptations of more standard procedures involving the cell cycle and its regulation by oscillatory networks, exploring recent progress in the field from both holistic and reductionist perspectives.

This detailed book provides an accessible compendium of up-to-date methods in the fields of environmental toxicology, molecular toxicology, and toxicogenomics.
