Abstract
This is a great age to participate in biological inquiry. Behavioral neuros cience offers a rich perspective for molecular biologists. However, behavio ral 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 ex ploration.
