Abstract excerpt
One current approach in investigating the neural basis of behavior is to use mutant mice with specific genetic alterations which affect neural functions. We are convinced that this approach is only effective if a behavioral model with sufficiently known underlying neuronal mechanisms is used. We present a model system which is well-suited for the above approach. Because the neural basis is known in great detail,...
