DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Fabio Canneva\nAbstract: Similarly to how symptoms are
  investigated by a physician in search for the root causes of a disease\, 
 likewise animals behavioral repertoire constitutes to scientists the first
 -hand source of data relative to the animal model investigated. Using such
  data requires for it to be objectively investigated\, quantitatively desc
 ribed and finally analyzed in a statistically-sound fashion.Although mice 
 and rats cannot speak to us\, their body language and behavioral choices a
 re plenty informative: with the combination of advanced technological tool
 s and an understanding of the ethological principles of rodents behavior w
 e can effectively start monitoring disease symptoms and drug effects befor
 e any biological sample is collected from the animals.With a few examples 
 from my own research I would like to present my view on the role of curios
 ity in cognition\, the importance of motivation\, reward and timing in ope
 rant conditioning\, the basic and advanced approaches to motoric analysis 
 and the peculiarities of home-cage testing\, rodents communication and pai
 n display.
