Animal Models in the study on Brain and Behaviour - Agaisnt

Conclusion - Discussion

ultimately humans and animals are too different in dna, behaviour, environment, cognitive levels to be compared

need holistic approach too

Reductionist Approach

Eric Kandel: how is memory "scaled up" to human levels of cognition? consciousness? environmental input?

LeDoux: animals don't have consciousness, research of fear cannot translate directly to humans (fear vs threat)

Casual Analogical Model (CAM)

LeDoux, Eric Kandel

cannot extrapolate simple animal behaviour to humans , especially on complex systems such as behaviour

reductionist methods in animals

research goal to find most basic explanations for complex behaviour

Intro

Methods of extrapolating animal data to human results

Why case studies aren't representative of humans
