Study all behavioural phenomenon in non-human animals (learning, memory, sensory processes, emotional behaviour, motivation, sexual behaviour, sleep) as model to understand human. Drugs act on particular part of brain involved in reactions to pleasurable events understanding how they affect the brain can help develop medication to break addictions.
