Description: It is clear that now we have the tools with which we can start dissecting the complex web of interactions from molecules and cells to neuronal networks and higher-order interactions at multiple levels of the biological organization of the brain. The time now appears ripe for a Handbook which provides up-to-date technical information on these new methods, one which focuses on the methodological aspects of molecular-genetic research in the analysis of brain and behavior, ranging from discovering new genes to making targeted mutations. The handbook is divided into six sections, most of which start with basic descriptions of the technique and its strengths, how it can be used, and what the problems and pitfalls are. Next, some case studies are presented to illustrate these points. The aim is to enable the reader to obtain information about both the practical details of the methods and their applications in behavioral brain research. The information presented cavers most, if not all. aspects of modern behavioral genetic research, from information gathering techniques and statistical considerations for experimental design, through molecular-genetic- techniques for discovering novel genes and manipulating gene expression, to the analysis of behavioral phenotypes and the ethical implications of genetic research of behavior and the brain.
