This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Neurobehavioral research conducted by CPN investigators focuses on the study of brain-behavior relationships using animal models. The CPN's Behavioral Studies Core serves as a central resource to encourage and facilitate the use of animal behavioral techniques to answer significant questions in psychiatric neuroscience. This core further serves as a ready resource for advice and guidance on many aspects of in vivo animal treatment including not only behavioral techniques, but also animal handling, drug-dosing methods, breeding/rearing of animals, surgical techniques, and the development of novel behavioral analyses. The Behavioral Studies Core includes equipment and laboratory space in several CPN laboratories that are specialized for different techniques and/or species of animals for behavioral research. These laboratories have agreed to share their equipment and expertise with other CPN investigators. Although not a "core facility" in the traditional sense of the word, this behavioral equipment and the laboratory space that houses it is a valuable resource that is available to CPN investigators. It allows for the evolution of the research of individual investigators and expansion of their work to include behavioral techniques. In addition, it encourages and supports the development of multidisciplinary collaborative relationships between scientists with behavioral expertise and those who do not share this background. Collaborative efforts are often the key to advancements in research and the CPN's Behavioral Core encourages and supports the development of multidisciplinary collaborative relationships between scientists with behavioral expertise and those who do not share this background. Dr. Paul, the Behavioral Studies Core Leader, facilitates these collaborative efforts with expert advice and assistance to further or expand investigator research by integrating behavioral techniques and analyses. Dr. Paul is a behavioral pharmacologist with expertise in behavioral work with rodents (mice, gerbils, rats) as well as experience with non-human primates. He advises and consults with CPN Project Principal Investigators in the scientific approaches to the study of behavior, the use of behavioral equipment, and the design of behavioral experiments. In addition, Dr. Paul serves as liaison between CPN Project Principal Investigators and investigators with specific behavioral expertise both within and outside the CPN.

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。CPN研究人员进行的神经行为研究侧重于使用动物模型研究大脑与行为之间的关系。CPN的行为研究核心作为一个中心资源，鼓励和促进使用动物行为技术来回答精神神经科学中的重要问题。这一核心还可以为活体动物治疗的许多方面提供建议和指导，这些方面不仅包括行为技术，而且还包括动物处理、给药方法、动物繁殖/饲养、外科技术以及新行为分析的发展。行为研究核心包括几个CPN实验室的设备和实验室空间，这些实验室专门用于行为研究的不同技术和/或动物物种。这些实验室已同意与CPN的其他调查人员分享他们的设备和专业知识。虽然不是传统意义上的“核心设施”，但这种行为设备和容纳它的实验室空间对CPN调查人员来说是一种宝贵的资源。它允许个别调查人员的研究发展，并将他们的工作扩展到包括行为技术。此外，它还鼓励和支持具有行为专业知识的科学家和不具有这一背景的科学家之间发展多学科合作关系。合作努力往往是研究进步的关键，CPN的行为核心鼓励和支持具有行为专业知识的科学家和那些没有这一背景的科学家之间发展多学科合作关系。保罗博士是行为研究的核心负责人，他通过整合行为技术和分析，在专家建议和协助下促进这些合作努力，以进一步或扩大调查者的研究。保罗博士是一名行为药理学家，在啮齿动物(老鼠、沙鼠、大鼠)的行为研究方面有专长，也有处理非人类灵长类动物的经验。他在行为研究的科学方法、行为设备的使用和行为实验的设计方面向CPN项目首席调查人员提供建议和咨询。此外，Paul博士还担任CPN项目首席调查员和在CPN内外具有特定行为专长的调查员之间的联络人。
