Some researchers and animal rights groups are amplifying their opposition to an assay that measures how long a rodent tries to stay afloat.

Researchers have selectively activated a specific neural pathway to manipulate a primate’s behavior.

Automating Drosophila behavior screens gives researchers a break from tedious observation, and enables higher-throughput, more-quantitative experiments than ever before.

How to avoid pitfalls in assays of mouse behavior

Researchers package a fluorescence microscope—including the light and camera—that can image the brain of a freely moving mouse.

Have researchers found the seat of urination control in a primitive brain region?

When it comes to studying cephalopod brains and behavior, it helps to have a philosopher around.
