Model Behavior

Animal Experiments, Complexity, and the Genetics of Psychiatric Disorders
Book • 2018
Nicole C. Nelson's "Model Behavior" offers a deep dive into the complexities of animal experiments in behavioral genetics.

The book challenges traditional views of the laboratory as a place of controlled simplification, revealing a reality where stable findings are elusive.

Nelson's ethnographic study highlights the crucial role of environmental factors, often overlooked in the pursuit of genetic explanations.

The research underscores the inherent challenges in translating animal models to human behavior, emphasizing the provisional nature of scientific knowledge in complex systems.

The book's insights are relevant to anyone interested in the philosophy of science, animal ethics, and the intricacies of scientific research.
