Circling Behavior in Rodents

Methodology, Biology, and Functional Implications

  • Chapter
Motor Activity and Movement Disorders

Part of the book series: Contemporary Neuroscience ((CNEURO))

Abstract

Circling is a readily measurable behavior that is exhibited by many organisms and that may indicate that a lateral preference is present for carrying out other behavioral functions. In this respect, it is similar to handedness, the best known human index of lateral preference. Most modern accounts of the determinants of lateral preference suggest that it occurs as a result of some functional lateralization of systems in the brain. Lateralization simply means that the two hemispheres are differentially proficient in controlling various behavioral activities. The significance of lateralization extends beyond the simple fact of brain asymmetry. Rather, it implies that certain features of behaviors that are controlled by asymmetric brain areas will vary according to the kind and degree of asymmetry that is present. In this chapter, we will assess the utility of circling behavior as an index of brain asymmetry and the relationship of this asymmetry to various aspects of behavioral function.
