How we divide and recombine processes that underlie integrated patterns of behavior represents one of the most fundamental problems in all behavioral science. Avenues of insight range from naturalistic observations to the most advanced technological advances in the recording and analysis of behavioral sequences. Members of the symposium on "Streams and Patterns in Behavior," Maastricht Conference on Measuring Behavior, offered important complementary approaches to issues that are common in all analyses of behavioral patterns, across time scales and levels of organization. Rodent grooming was emphasized as one model system, but contributors also offered insights on a range of issues relevant to our deeper understanding of exploration, emotions, consciousness, and human neurological disorders.
我们如何划分和重新组合构成综合行为模式基础的过程,这是所有行为科学中最基本的问题之一。洞察途径涵盖从自然主义观察到行为序列记录与分析方面最先进的技术进展。在马斯特里赫特行为测量会议上举行的“行为流与模式”研讨会上,与会成员针对所有行为模式分析中常见的问题,在不同时间尺度和组织层面上提供了重要的互补方法。啮齿动物的梳理行为被作为一个模型系统加以强调,但与会者也对一系列与我们更深入理解探索、情感、意识及人类神经障碍相关的问题提供了见解。
