More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Quantitative techniques found to be useful in characterizing the complex attractors of dynamical systems and the non-convergent distribution functions of statistical hierarchies were applied to the problem of drug-induced phase-transitions in patterns of exploratory behavior in the rat. Methods derived from ergodic theory and the application of scaling exponents proved to be particularly useful. These techniques provided discriminations among drug effects and insights into behavioral mechanisms that were not accessible using traditional psychopharmacological measures
