Dr. RICHARD BROWN has authored I145and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed scientific papers and presented works at many national and International conferences. Dr. RICHARD BROWN contributions have acclaimed recognition from honourable subject experts around the world. Dr. RICHARD BROWN is actively associated with different societies and academies. Dr. RICHARD BROWN academic career is decorated with several reputed awards and funding. Dr. RICHARD BROWN research interests include Research in my laboratory looks at different aspects of rodent behaviour. We are developing a set of standardized test batteries to study the behaviour of inbred, mutant and knockout mice. This includes an "ethological" test battery, a learning and memory test battery and a developmental test battery. Tests used include visual acuity, rotarod, elevated plus maze, elevated zero maze, open field, light-dark box, Hebb-Williams maze, Barnes maze, water maze, olfactory discrimination learning, olfactometer, cued and context conditioning, nine hole box, and others. We use these tests to study roden.
