Behavioral Neuroscience
本课程研究行为的神经基础，探讨神经系统如何调控各种行为表现。内容包括动机行为（摄食、饮水、性行为）、情绪与应激的神经机制、学习与记忆的行为学研究、睡眠与生物节律、药物成瘾的神经生物学、以及精神疾病的行为学模型。课程介绍动物行为学实验方法，强调行为范式设计和行为量化分析。
This course studies the neural basis of behavior, exploring how the nervous system regulates behavioral expression. Topics include motivated behaviors (feeding, drinking, sexual behavior), neural mechanisms of emotion and stress, behavioral studies of learning and memory, sleep and circadian rhythms, neurobiology of drug addiction, and behavioral models of mental illness. Covers animal behavior experimental methods and behavioral quantification.
学生需设计一个完整的Morris水迷宫实验方案，包括实验动物分组、训练流程、检测指标和数据统计方法。使用模拟或公开的行为学数据集，分析小鼠的逃避潜伏期、穿越平台次数、目标象限停留时间等指标，评估空间学习记忆能力，撰写实验报告，培养学生的行为学实验设计和数据分析能力。
Students design a complete Morris water maze experiment, including animal grouping, training protocol, measurement indices, and statistical methods. Using simulated or public behavioral datasets, they analyze escape latency, platform crossings, target quadrant dwell time, and other metrics to assess spatial learning and memory. Develops behavioral experiment design and data analysis skills.
