| Summary |
This volume intends to demonstrate that theories based on animal studies of brain, behavior, and cognition are indeed providing new insights and directions for research on human function. It is also hoped that this book will promote a dialogue between animal and human researchers that will lead to increased understanding of the complex issues involved in modeling human behavior. /// Part I covers background material against which the subsequent chapters need to be viewed. Part II provides a sampling of the kinds of strategies that animal investigators have used to obtain information that may help alleviate psychiatric and emotional disorders. Part III focuses on animal studies of developmental processes in humans. Part IV focuses on a specific aspect of the perception-cognition continuum: memory processes. Part V discusses aggression.
