- Avoidance conditioning (active, e.g. shuttle-box; passive, e.g. step-down inhibitory avoidance)
- Operant (instrumental) conditioning
- Discrimination learning (auditory discrimination, e.g. shuttle-box go/no go procedure; brightness discrimination)
- Spatial learning (radial maze, Y-maze, hole board)
- Fear conditioning (e.g. conditioned freezing, context or cue dependent)
- Open field behavior (video technique, computer analysis)
- Locomotor activity (home cage, novel environment)
- Behavioral observations (e.g. grooming, rearing, etc.)
- Stereotaxic techniques (brain electrodes and cannulae, brain microinjection, lesion)
- EMG and EEG recording and analysis
- Sleep recording, sleep-wake pattern evaluation
