Assessment of Neurochemical Correlates of Operant Behavior

The central nervous system (CNS) is a major focus for investigations of the causes of behavior. In this context, causes may be changes in brain neuronal activity that correlate with a behavior or the underlying neuronal mechanisms resulting in the appearance of behavior. How are the neurobiological mechanisms of these complex processes determined and the neuronal events responsible for the integration of behavior differentiated from other concurrent processes? Although these questions have been considered by scientists for some time, they have no simple solutions have been developed.
