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.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 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行为关系。 CPN 的行为研究核心作为核心资源，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大问题。 该核心还可以作为体内动物治疗许多方面的建议和指导的现成资源，不仅包括行为技术，还包括动物处理、药物剂量方法、动物繁殖/饲养、手术技术和新型行为分析的开发。 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不同技术和/或动物种类的行为研究。这些实验室已同意与其他 CPN 研究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是 CPN 调查人员可以使用的宝贵资源。它允许个体研究者的研究不断发展，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备这种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 的行为核心鼓励并支持具有行为专业知识的科学家和不具备这种背景的科学家之间发展多学科合作关系。行为研究核心领导者 Paul 博士通过专家建议和帮助促进这些合作，通过整合行为技术和分析来进一步或扩大研究者的研究。 Paul 博士是一位行为药理学家，拥有啮齿动物（小鼠、沙鼠、大鼠）行为研究方面的专业知识以及非人类灵长类动物方面的经验。他在行为研究的科学方法、行为设备的使用以及行为实验的设计方面为 CPN 项目首席研究员提供建议和咨询。此外，Paul 博士还担任 CPN 项目首席研究员和 CPN 内外具有特定行为专业知识的研究人员之间的联络人。
