Using a wealth of examples from current research, the textbook takes a strong applied approach. Using animal models such as \u003ci\u003eDrosophila melanogaster\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCaenorhabditis elegans\u003c\/i\u003e as well as mammalian systems, the interrelationships between genes, neurons, nervous systems, and behaviour under normal and pathological conditions are illustrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThe textbook aims encourage students to address biological questions in neurogenetics and to think about the design of their own experiments. It targets primarily master and graduate students in neurobiology, but is also a valuable teaching tool for instructors in these fields.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
