The overarching aim of the Laboratory of Behavioral Methods is to provide high-quality behavioral screening and testing services for Nencki Institute as well as other scientists and companies. The laboratory is equipped with a broad spectrum of behavioral tests - sensory and motor abilities, emotional level, learning and memory, social interactions, and complex cognitive tasks.
