Document Summary

Behavioural neuroscience (cid:122) general approaches (cid:122) loss of function (cid:122) gain of function (cid:122) correlation (cid:122) general procedures (cid:122) neurosurgery (cid:122) stereotaxic methods (cid:122) neurogenetics (cid:122) forward, reverse (cid:122) neuroanatomy (cid:122) gross, fine (cid:122) live/dead tissue (cid:122) neurophysiology (cid:122) activity of the brain (cid:122) behaviour (cid:122) humans, animals (cid:122) naturalistic, learned (cid:122) manipulating the brain. Behaviour (cid:122) lesions (cid:122) accidental, experimental (cid:122) permanent/transient (cid:122) stimulation (cid:122) electrical (cid:122) chemical/neuropharmacological (cid:122) optogenetic/chemogenetic (cid:122) recording from the brain: Correlations to behaviour? (cid:122) single cells, multiple cells, eeg (cid:122) imaging (cid:122) large field/small field (cid:122) invasive, noninvasive (cid:122) metabolic/chemical readings. Problem: what interpretations can be made with respect to dynamics of behaviour: a variety of different levels of analysis. Corsi block tapping test: short term recall of spatial position and sequence. Recent memory task: well designed tests can highlight different aspects of memory.
