Description:
Animal models of cognitive function, including learning, memory, and attention, are critical for determining the neurobehavioral basis for cognition and for the development of new therapeutic treatments for cognitive impairment. Animal Models of Cognitive Impairment features an integrated approach that combines molecular and neurochemical approaches in translational models with behavioral and clinical applications. The text also discusses current research on genetic, lesion, pharmacological toxicant, and aging models. The book then explores the significance of this research to the treatment of various addictions and disorders such as stroke, autism, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, and ADHD.
