Humana Mood and Anxiety Related Phenotypes in Mice - Vol 42

With mood and anxiety disorders affecting roughly twenty percent of the global population, scientific research in this field is expanding rapidly. This specialized volume, Mood and Anxiety Related Phenotypes in Mice: Characterization Using Behavioral Tests (Neuromethods, 42), serves as a vital resource for understanding these complex conditions. As the use of laboratory mice grows to help identify the biological and genetic foundations of mental health disorders, researchers require reliable methodologies. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the behavioral approaches used to characterize mood and anxiety-related behaviors in mouse models. By studying these phenotypes, scientists can work toward developing improved treatments and better understanding the mechanisms behind human disorders. This text is an essential addition to the library of any professional engaged in neuroscience, behavioral research, or pharmaceutical development. It offers direct insights from world-renowned researchers, making it a foundational tool for those studying the intersection of genetics, biology, and behavior in the laboratory mouse.
