| Abstract | INTRODUCTIONThe behavioral approach to solving neuroscience questions, unlike cellular and molecular approaches, is difficult to define and is therefore sometimes considered a less-disciplined approach. Methods describing behavioral procedures are often thought to be crude when compared to the precision of physiological or molecular methods. This apparent lack of precision results from the problems inherent in the study of behavior--deciding what to measure among the large number of variables, understanding that behavior is the final output of a vast array of neurochemical and electrophysiological changes, designing reproducible experiments that have appropriate controls, and most importantly, interpreting results. Conflicting results from similar protocols have led to prolonged debates and controversies in interpretation of behavioral data; therefore, it is necessary to strive for a high degree of precision through the cultivation of excellent handling and observational skills and thorough documentation strategies. This article is an introduction to several methods used to measure and assess normal behavior in a rat, including suggestions about how to make objective behavioral observations. Behavioral tests can be used to establish a 'behavioral baseline' for a normal animal, to assess the effects of drugs or a lesion on behavior, and to determine whether transgenic animals have a normal behavioral repertoire. It should be kept in mind that, along with the intended effect, experimental manipulations often have unintended side effects, and behavioral tests can also be used to determine some of the less obvious changes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
