This stimulating analysis reviews the broad potential of animal models to foster a deeper understanding of human pathology, strengthen connections between genetic and behavioral studies, and develop more effective treatments for mental disorders. Widely-studied and lesser-used species are examined in models that capture features along the continuum of normative and pathological behavior. The models highlight genetic causes of core features, or endophenotypes, of developmental, internalizing, and externalizing disorders, as well as dementia. Expert contributors address questions ranging from how suitable species are chosen for study to the costs and benefits of using inbred versus outbred strains, and the effects of ... Read more

He also studies the cognitive and emotional consequences of developmental disorders. He gained his Ph.D. degree ... Read more
Reviews for Animal Models of Behavior Genetics
“Animal Models of Behavior Genetics is a nice addition to the bookshelf. Students across many disciplines will find it to be a useful starting point for research into the animal models of various behavior systems.” (R. Nicolle Carr, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (11), March, 2017)
