Critical Review – Biological Bases of Behaviour

DescriptionWrite a critical review based on one of the following three topics:1. Critically evaluate the role of dopamine in addiction based onanimal models. The animal models reviewed should include acombination of those we looked at in class (but you can alsoinclude additional ones that were not covered in this unit). Indoing so, you must present evidence from three methodologicalapproaches. A) Optogenetic studies B) Extracellular single/multiunit recording in vivo C) pharmacological agonists andantagonists that target dopamine receptors*.2. Critically evaluate the role of serotonin in depression based onanimal models. The animal models reviewed should include acombination of those we looked at in class (but you can alsoinclude additional ones that were not covered in this unit). Indoing so, you must present evidence from three methodologicalapproaches. A) Optogenetic studies B) Extracellular single/multiunit recording in vivo C) pharmacological agonists andantagonists that target serotonin receptors*.3. Critically evaluate the role of GABA in anxiety based on animalmodels. The animal models reviewed should include acombination of those we looked at in class (but you can alsoinclude additional ones that were not covered in this unit). Indoing so, you must present evidence from three methodologicalapproaches.
