About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the major genetically modified mouse lines used to model human neurobehavioral disorders. Special emphasis is given to the behavioral abnormalities resulting from genetic manipulations (i.e. transgenic, knockout/in mice), offering an easy entrance into the extensive literature in this field to students and specialists alike.

About the Authors

Susanna Pietropaolo is a Researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). She is an expert in the behavioral analysis of the laboratory mouse, with a special interest in social behaviors. Her recent research focuses on mouse models of social dysfunction, including autism and Fragile X syndrome.

Frans Sluyter is an expert in (wild) house mouse behavior and neurogenetics. His interests range from aggression, addiction, depression and (stress) coping strategies to gene expression profiles and consciousness. He has worked in The Netherlands, France, Japan and England.

Wim E. Crusio is a Research Director at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). With over 35 years' experience in mouse behavioral neurogenetics and the analysis of mouse behavior, his recent interests cover mouse models of depression, autism, and Fragile X syndrome.
