		Behavioral pharmacology is the detection, description, and explanation of drug effects on behavior. It can be divided into four subsections:
		
			
				
	
	| 1. | 
							The neurochemical or physiological basis of behavior is investigated by using drugs with a known mechanism of action; | 
| 2. | 
							Behavior is used to measure the potency, spectrum of action, and structure-activity relationships of drugs; | 
| 3. | 
							Drugs can be used to produce models of pathological conditions; and | 
| 4. | 
							The mechanism of action of drugs can be investigated, such as their electrophysiological or neurochemical basis. | 
			These four areas clearly require different methods, and aggressive behavior can be used in all of them.
