title: Behavioral neuroscience: challenges for the era of molecular biology.
abstract: This is a great age to participate in biological inquiry. Behavioral neuroscience offers a rich perspective for molecular biologists. However, behavioral analysis is not simply an assay. Whereas molecular biology has become a unique tool in the armamentarium of behavioral neuroscience, the powerful methodology of molecular biology is no substitute for careful behavioral exploration.
