Hi,

Does anyone know if there are protocols availabel in the web regarding behavioral testing of animals e.g. Radial-arm maze protocols. I am also looking for an overview of tests for different behavioral dimensions like memory, anxiety, motivation, physical fitness...

thanks

has some stuff ... Otherwise just Pubmed the basic question your looking for. I am sure frm the name you should be able to find some reference with a protocol available.

Perhaps you could google David Diamond. He's professor at the University of South Florida and I took a course by him with exactly that topic. He's doing research on rats and is testing memory under the influence of stress. Rats are stressed by exposing them to cats and before/afterwards they are put into water mazes to test for their memory.
