Behavior Sciences: explore the cognitive processes within organisms and the behavioural interactions between organisms in the natural world. It involves the systematic analysis and investigation of human and animal behavior through the study of the past, controlled and naturalistic observation of the present, and disciplined scientific experimentation and modeling. It attempts to accomplish legitimate, objective conclusions through rigorous formulations and observation.
Noise and vibration are very effective activators of stress pathways in rodent models that can increase variability in animal models, thereby confounding virtually every area of biomedical an...
Quality animal research is based on quality animal care and use. This is achieved by coordinating several key personnel and activities, and implementing appropriate animal care and use proced...
Why did we change focus from the 3Rs to Systematic Reviews? Questionnaires on the 3Rs have revealed that the 3R search gets no high priority and the 3R search process is never included in fun...
As one of the nation's most prevalent sexually transmitted infections, genital herpes represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to clinicians, laboratorians and the patients they...
DATE: October 28th, 2015TIME: 11am Pacific time, 2pm Eastern timeNew discoveries uncover that exposure to current environmental, dietary, behavioral, and medical conditions can significantly...
Multidimensional molecular characterization has led to a tsunami of cancer data. Precision Medicine assumes that new understanding and better interventions will flow from this “Big Data...
The world–as microbes perceive it–is composed of physical and chemical stimuli. These stimuli create conditions that result in life or death for microbes, affecting their survival...
I will discuss the use of genomic technologies - mostly ultrahigh-throughput DNA sequencing - to study normal human biology and to determine what goes wrong when we have disease. First I wil...
In recent years, sophisticated new methods for sedimentation data analysis have opened up new avenues for leveraging AUC technology in a wide range of technology sectors, including life scien...
The NIH BRAIN initiative, informed by the report from the scientific community (BRAIN 2025) is underway. The major funded efforts at this time fit into 3 main categories; 1) defining the comp...
Behaviors are motivated by two emotional valences: Seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. The ability to select appropriate behavioral responses to environmental stimuli, such as avoiding a pred...
There is growing interest internationally in elucidating the clinical and biological profile of those at high genetic risk to bipolar disorder (BD) so as to enable the development of targeted...
Impulsivity can be defined as the tendency to act prematurely without foresight. Behavioural and neurobiological analysis of this construct, based on evidence from both animal and human studi...
Recent advances in noninvasive neuroimaging have set the stage for the systematic exploration of human brain circuits in health and disease. The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is systematical...
At the cellular and molecular levels of operation, neurons and their circuits achieve brain functions by chemical signals, in which the principle agents, neurotransmitters convey the signal f...
The hippocampal formation is one of the most extensively studied regions of the brain, with well described anatomy and basic physiology; moreover, aspects of human memory mediated by hippocam...
The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), ventrolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vlPFC, vmPFC) and their connections with the basal ganglia play a ce...
The dopamine-containing neurons of the midbrain have been implicated in a broad array of psychiatric disorders, ranging from schizophrenia to drug abuse and depression. However, studies seem...
As evidenced by the changes in the new Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals and the latest AVMA Panel on Euthanasia, it is clear that there is growing concern about the care and w...

The pre-operative assessment and post-operative is critical for successful surgical procedures which will in turn lead to high quality outcomes in research studies. The care of the animals go...
In the context of an experimental project requiring surgical preparation of animals, training is not only required for technicians lacking a strong surgical background but also for more exper...
Effective workplace training in a research facility is an important key in ensuring smooth operations and high standards of animal care. Today's diverse workforce offers many benefits such a...
