Facility for analysing behaviour, learning and motor skills in animal models

精神障碍是当今社会最大的成本之一，占工作时间损失的50%以上。此外，这些障碍是与身份和个性的根本、基本问题有关的残疾状况。昆士兰州大学的这一合作行为设施将支持对神经系统变化如何影响行为和思维的出色研究，提供基础设施来测试当前的大脑功能模型，并支持开发新的化合物来治疗这些疾病，从而在改善健康结果和提高工作效率方面产生重大的国家和社区利益。

Mental disorders are one of the largest costs to the community today and account for more than 50% of the time lost from work. Moreover, these disorders are disabling conditions that relate to fundamental, basic questions of identity and individuality. This collaborative behavioural facility at The University of Queensland will underpin excellent research into how neurological changes affect behaviour and thinking, provide infrastructure to test current models on brain functions, and support the development of new compounds to treat these disorders, thus resulting in significant national and community benefits in improved health outcomes and increased work productivity.
