Understanding how the entire system works within the context of the intact functioning animal core is a central goal of Neuroscience research. This Core will allow researchers who use genetic and molecular methods to assay the behavioral consequences of drug treatments of mouse mutations. This Core will expand the use of the new Animal Behavior Research Core (ABRC). The ABRC already provides for space (5 behavioral testing rooms), equipment and staff for mouse behavioral testing. However, the single technician slotted for the ABRC cannot provide the support required for the large group of Neuroscientists and thus this Core will be required to hire an additional technician dedicated to the needs of the NINDS-funded investigators. In addition, the application requests funds for some equipment not currently provided for by ABRC or the University (e.g., Ethovision system, MiniMitter monitors with VitalView Software, and a rotarod system). Dr. Ronald Hammer will direct the Core with Dr. Kopin.

了解整个系统在完整功能的动物核心的背景下如何工作是神经科学研究的核心目标。该核心将允许使用遗传和分子方法的研究人员分析小鼠突变药物治疗的行为后果。该核心将扩大新动物行为研究核心（ABRC）的使用。 ABRC已经为鼠标行为测试提供了空间（5个行为测试室），设备和人员。但是，为ABRC插入的单一技术人员无法提供大量神经科学家所需的支持，因此该核心将是 需要聘请一名专门满足Ninds资助的调查人员需求的技术人员。此外，该申请还要求为ABRC或大学目前未提供的某些设备（例如Ethovision System，带有Vitalview软件的最小值监视器和Rotarod系统）。罗纳德·哈默（Ronald Hammer）博士将与科宾博士指导核心。
