A comprehensive overview of the genetics of naturally occurring variation in mouse behaviour, this book provides the baseline information that is essential to designing experiments and interpreting results in this field. It offers an easy entrance into the extensive literature and will prove valuable to specialists and students alike. Contents: Part I. General; Part II. Perception; Part III. Autonomous and Motor Behaviors; Part IV. Social Behavior; Part V. Learning and Memory. ‘This first volume is a much-needed reference text on the behavioral genetics of the mouse. I am looking forward to the subsequent volumes and expect that together they will provide a panoramic view of the field. Such a series of manuals will be invaluable to students, scientists, and scholars aiming to master the ‘beauties’ of mouse behavior.’ Silvia Mandillo, Genes, Brain and Behavior Cambridge Handbooks in Behavioral Genetics

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the major genetically modified mouse lines used to model human neurobehavioral disorders. Special emphasis is given to the behavioral abnormalities resulting from genetic manipulations (i.e. transgenic, knockout/in mice), offering an easy entrance into the extensive literature in this field to students and specialists alike. Contents: Part I. Introduction to Genetic Mouse Models of Neurobehavioral Disorders; Part II. Perception Disorders; Part III. Autonomous and Motor Disorders; Part IV. Social Dysfunction and Mental Retardation; Part V. Anxiety and Mood Disorders; Part VI. Substance Dependence and Abuse; Part VII. Neurodegenerative Disorders.
