Services

There are several ways in which the ABC staff will serve the behavioral testing needs of interested investigators:

1. Offer a basic panel of general tests for behavioral phenotyping;
2. Work with investigators to test specific behavioral functions;
3. Work with investigators to modify current tests to accomodate certain strains and experimental treatments;
4. Work with investigators to develop tests not in current repetoire (e.g., alcohol preference);
5. Design experiments to assess the effects of drugs on behavioral functions.

In addition to overseeing the conducting of the behavioral tests, Dr. Wozniak will also work with investigators during the planning stages of their research. This service includes the selection of appropriate behavioral tests and background strains as well as deriving an optimal experimental design for testing scientific hypotheses. After data is collected, Dr. Wozniak offers graphical and statistical analyses and will provide assistance with regard to writing manuscripts and grant proposals if so desired by investigators.
