Behavioral scientists are well acquainted with avoidance methods that have been used for several decades, originally by psychologists, who were interested in animal behavior.
These procedures were later exploited by neuroscientists, who specifically perform systematic studies of the behavioral changes mainly produced by brain lesions, to define the functions of different C.N.S. sections.
Avoidance tests were soon extended to several other areas of research such as behavior genetics, psychopharmacology and behavioral toxicology. More recently, such use has become routine in animal model studies of aging and of Alzheimer-type dementia, including the search for new drugs of potential therapeutic value, consisting in attenuation of behavioral deficits.
